Post by: 23Sailfish on December 08, 2010, 03:18:37 PM
I'm a wannabe geek.  Help me understand how checksums work...please.

This is the issue I have that I'm trying to solve:

Solution Checksum To check your solution add up the seven digits. N = 28, W = 45

Thanks for any help,

That doesn't help me unfortunatly.  The numbers are supposed to give me some sort of code or coordinates.

This is for a geocaching clue that my neice wants her and I to complete.  She asked me for help her with it and I have no clue.

Where did you get the idea that I was trying to help? 

I didn't even read your post.  I often post random numbers in reply to threads around here.
