All the numbers fell into place rather quickly but a thorough search at GZ and anywhere else nearby, failed to turn up the cache.

Out and about with n0w0rries grabb8ng some caches and maintaining some after the CITO Event
After a good solid search of the GZ + surrounding area we had not found this cache even with the aid of PAF and no help from the geocaching melbourne FB page
This cache has obviously joing the surrounding scenery and turned into ashes.

Maintenance check, all good. Thanks to people who have attempted this mathematically challenging cache and for giving it a favorite point.
It is always puts one in a more reflective mood when visiting locations such as this for a cache. It was certainly interesting to note these historical figures and learn a little bit more about them. Everything worked out nicely, it was good to be able to complete it respectfully and I before I knew it I was adding my name to this quite unique container. Thanks to Brain.teaser for the cache.
I teamed up with Day1976 for an afternoon / evening cache run out east from Pakenham through Bunyip, Drouin and Warragul. The weather was perfect and even as we found our last cache for the night at around midnight, we were still wearing t-shirts as it was so mild.
This was one of those caches where I'd gathered the info and worked out GZ but just hadn't gotten back to visit for a find. When I knew we were coming out this way, this cache was a must find for me. I was hoping I'd used my BODMAS skills correctly. We arrived at GZ and my GPS first lead us in one direction and I though 'Oh Bugger !', but then it settled and lead us over to the other side and there was the cache. Great cache design and very appropriate.
A tricky multi and well done. Thanks Brain.teaser.

Found this cache on a Friday evening cachig run with quasar3671.
Quasar3671 had done the hard work previously, but had not made the find. Fortunately today my contribution involved sitting in the passenger seat and being nearby whilst he found the cache. Signed the log. Love the creative container.

We had a secret weapon on this one, a place very near by where we could do all our maths, we were still a way off but after looking around a little reasoning had the cache in our hands, great container. Kids swapped some toys and put it back for the next cacher to enjoy
31/01/2015 - 4.10pm - #338 - 3rd for the day with dgfb33. Had to get out a looking up device as we thought we didn't have all the info needed to find this one. Found out we did have what we needed and after a better read of what we had & correct calculations we found 2nd waypoint & final destination. TFTC.
Dunko and I decided to head off for a casual caching run today, a great afternoon for caching with the warm weather. we managed to collect some caches we had bypassed in our travels previously. A very big thank-you to Brain.teaser for the time and effort in the placement of this cache
So we managed to get our act together with as much enthusiasm as we could muster and decided to head off for some impromptu caching today. It was a good afternoon for caching with the warm weather and dispite both of us not really being into it for some reason we enjoyed ourselves. We thought we would look at some we never seem to get to but keep saying we will get that next time. Well today was the next time. TFTC TNLN SL.
I mucked up with my logs i duplicated them and then when i fixed that I stupidly deleted both -just fixing now sorry CO. Okay so I will admit after checking BOMAS and knowing I was doing that right I re read the questions and knew thats where my problem lay. I was clever and used google but that posed the problem of not actually having the WP2 co ords. So I PAF well not really I ask in a local caching group for some clarification on the questions I wasn't sure what the CO wanted me to do. I didn't get much of a response not sure if they are sick of me asking questions or if they themselves were too busy finding caches or in fact didn't know. Luckily a local cacher messaged me a little more assistance and today on my way past I was able to finish what I had started. I'm really glad have learnt about the Snell family I'm disappointed I couldn't find any more photos about them. I'll have to call into the Robin Hood pub and see if they have any more. The one photo of Clara that I found shows a woman not much different to women we see walking the streets today. I wonder how society really treated these people and how they held up emotionally? Being over weight is one thing but there people were like a freak show/tourist attraction?! I agree it doesn't matter if you are big or small as long as you are kind and healthy thats the main thing!

After arriving at a nearby party early on Cup Day we decided to do a quick cache. I got to WP1 and started answering questions and soon realised it would take longer than I had. Today I was in the area again so armed with a print out and plenty of time Geo daughter and I tackled this one. I wrote down the info but didn't understand what I had to do for several of the points. In particular " I " I am familiar with BODMAS but that wasn't the problem it was the wording of a few of the questions. I was suitable unimpressed especially with a D of 1.5 I was sure I should be able to do it. I had a hunch as to where WP2 would be so I did some Googeling which gave me the required info. The problem with that was I still needed the exact numbers for WP2. I have since ask for some help in a local caching group as it is frustrating the hell out of me! IF GZ is where I think it is I was only within 200m of it today when i drove down the road for something else. I will be back. Disappointed I was beat by a D1.5 Oh and a big thanks to Brain.teaser for the history I found it fascinating and have done a lot of reading about the family. ~~ We took time to smell the roses today they were beautiful!

Find #4053
I was headed out again with SharkieFan towards Warragul and the "Devonshire Tea by the Campfire" event, as well as finding as many unfound caches as we could while we were here. We found a great variety of hides here and had a great day. I found 13 caches all up.
Wow, what a convoluted and complex multi. It took quite a lot of thought and at this late stage of the day, a tricky puzzle. Anyway, we got there in the end and I loved the final container, very appropriate. This was our third cemetery visit today!!
Thanks to Brain.teaser for placing this cache. TNLN

So many tasks. We were unsure if we were doing it right but at each waypoint found something that fitted. Boy is maths at the end of the day hard going. Fortunately I had run into BODMAS rather recently. A nice finish to a tough cache. Found with Ahomberg. Tftc
Not a lot of muggle about at the moment made the hunt a lot easier. Great cache. Thanks Brain.teaser FTC.
Had started on this one a few weeks ago, but didn't have the time to get the coordinates right so had left it. Then one nice sunny afternoon I had the time to go back to this place and work through all of the clues to make the find. It took me a little longer than I had initially though as I had one coordinate wrong, but finally got it sorted and made my way to GZ. Great container!! TFTC
We really enjoyed taking our time collecting the clues and wandering around in the heat. Really well maintained site. The maths memory was fine but we had to recalculate after using the wrong 'D' value in the wrong place. Enjoyed the history lesson too. We've seen some photos in the bar at the Robin Hood Inn that joined all the dots with the info given. Great cache container. A fav point for us. Thanks for the challenge Brain.teaser
Found with Trailrunning on another Monday caching adventure, It was a humid night of caching, looking for Micros in the bush with coordinates out. We found a mixed bag of caches tonight, from tricky hides, The Numbers were not many as we seem to have a long distances to travel to find a few these days. Thanks Brain.teaser for the cache.
Rebel Acts and I headed to the south-west in search of plastic and came up with a reasonable haul. The night was hot and humid with made it quite uncomfortable especially when we sought micros in the bush with poor co-ordinates. I think the worst for the night was 20 metres off, but one CO was consistently out, which indicates that they aren't averaging when placing their caches. It became frustrating at times. That's the game I suppose. A nice easy driveby. I'm not sure the cache container will last the rigours of the environment, but nice effort. Thanks for the cache.
This certainly was a brain teaser for us (well, me). We found WP1 and 2 easily enough, but GZ eluded us for quite a while, due to 1. a mathematical error (embarrassing) 2. a transcription error. Finally all was revealed and the cute container was uncovered! Thanks for the cache and the interesting history lesson. We love a good cemetery cache and this one didn't disappoint.
Traveling back and forth I had gathered the clues bit by bit and today was the day to finish this cache. The weather was clear this morning and i decided to leave a little early for this one. I arrived at the cache location and with no one around i was able to find the cache without a hitch.
I loved the cache container and really enjoyed collecting and solving this cache.
Our thanks to Brain.teaser for the cache.

A great piece of history & great cache which we really enjoyed even though we had to do a couple of re-calculations to get the final GZ.Thanks Brain.teaser
Needing a cache for the last day of the August Get out there and cache on the 31 days of August challenge I took my daughter how is doing Bodmas at school so made her do all the maths and what do you know she gets an A+ as here calculations lead us to gz ( Glad to see private school fees haven't gone total to waist ) love the cache and also love the history lesson. There is some photos of the Snell girls on the wall at the Robin Hood Hotel . sl thanks Brain.teaser for the cache and thanks Gemma for doing the maths.
What a 'great' story. I don't know if I'll ever get to this cache, but I certainly enjoyed the bit of history. Thanks Brain.teaser
Tell us why a log is written and not found. Am I missing something in this sport?
FTF!!!! After dropping Campbell of at school and knowing I had to be in Drouin I thought I would give this multi a go after seeing it published last night. Arriving at the WP1 I quickly set to work on the information I needed to find WP2 and after a early hiccup with my maths (grrrrr) I soon found my way to WP2 and located the right information. The ensuing 10 minutes seemed longer as I once again applied my brain and was rewarded with the final GZ co ords. I strolled towards GZ and soon found the cache, happy that it only took me half an hour!! Stamped our moniker and replaced cache at 10.30am. Took nothing left nothing.
Thanks for an interesting and informative cache Brain.teaser, had a great time even if i gave the grey matter a work out!!!
PS I left a note on the cache page as soon as I found it to let others know FTF was gone. I utilise field notes and don't like visiting TBs on the app. I am sorry if this upsets people but 8 hours to log online is sufficient for me!!!
