Geocache Description:

Another insanely hard puzzle cache from the two geocaching cousins. Please enjoy our latest work of art. You must be a math nerd, hence the name, to solve this (no offense intended)

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES! THE POSTED COORDINATES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CACHE ITSELF! IF YOU GO THERE YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR TIME! We have prepared a little math puzzle for you all to solve. It consists of a few equations that represent numbers. This is the puzzle:

North: [≈sp.gr.Fe 2+ Fe23+04] [P of H20 (g/cm3 at 4ºC)] degrees.
zero [number of bases in DNA] point.
[≈distance to center of milky way (kpc)] [P of H2O (g/cm3 at 4ºC)] [atomic number of fluorine]

West: [P of H20 (g/cm3 at 4ºC)] [P of H20 (g/cm3 at 4ºC)]
[≈sp.gr.Fe 2+ Fe23+04] degrees. [P of H20 (g/cm3 at 4ºC)]
[atomic number of fluorine] point. [number of bases in DNA]
[≈T ½ 237NP(x106y)] [Quartz on the Mohs scale]

Cache is a dry mustard container that has been taped for camo. It contains a logbook and possibly will fit a few trackables. You will need tweezers to extract these items! Good luck!
