Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.



Please solve the puzzle below.






The historic origins of wedding anniversaries date back to the Holy Roman Empire, when husbands crowned their wives with a silver wreath on their twenty-fifth anniversary, or vicennalia, and a gold wreath on the fiftieth. Today we have lists of what to give to the celebrating couple, traditional or modern.



The cache can be found at

N 45 QR.STU W 075 VW.XYZ

To solve the puzzle, please find the corresponding year number for the following traditional gifts for wedding anniversaries then do the math function listed for each equation.


Q = Mother of Pearl x Daffodil / Tin, Aluminum
R = Opal / Dahlia + Sugar
S = Pearl / Sunflower - Tin
T = Moonstone (not the 85th) + Chrysanthemum - Pottery
U = Diamond / Calla - (UK) Fruit and flowers
V = Ruby – Lily / (UK) Paper
W = Emerald / Hydrangea - Leather
X = Rhodolite – Lilac - Iron
Y = Tsavorite – Daisy - Crystal
Z = Jade - Lily of the Valley - Woollen




Have fun and happy caching.













I was planning to archive this cache on DECEMBER 31, 2020. However, because of the Covid, I have been asked to extend the date the 2014 puzzles will be archived. So, the new date that the 2014 puzzles will be archived will be July 16, 2022. Thanks for your interest in this cache. Cheers and happy caching, buddysally.
