Geocache Description:

Another child’s play puzzle cache that the whole family can enjoy, this one comes with a delicious ethnic recipe. The cache is not at the published coordinates; do not go there unless you want to shop for ingredients for a real okonomiyaki party. Solve the puzzle below to get the final coordinates.


Your child has grown up fast, having graduated from MMM GC1P279 baby formulas to games and okonomiyaki. It’s school holiday and your child has invited a few friends around for an “okonomiyaki party” after a hard game of paintball.

The Hiroshima style okonomiyaki recipe below is for four servings, but you need to cater for six.

First, you need to shop for the ingredients.

To work out how much the pizzas are going to cost, assume that you can as far as possible buy the exact quantities you need. However, if you can’t buy the exact amount, then you might have more of some ingredients than you need for the party. As fresh produce don’t keep, you will need to include the cost of any fresh produce left over in your calculations. Other leftover ingredients, however, should be excluded as you can save them for future use.

The cache is located halfway between a secret waypoint and the final location of Melrose Mothercraft Mount (GC1P279). The secret waypoint is at S41°1S.TUV E174°4W.XYZ, where

S = A+H
T = C+G
U = B+C
V = A+D

W = E+F
X = B+D
Y = C+E
Z = F+H

ABCD is the total cost of the okonomiyaki pizzas and EFGH is the cost per serving at your party, both amounts being in yen rounded to the nearest whole number.

For S to Z, take the least significant digits should the calculations result in double-digits.

For the secret waypoint coordinates,
