Geocache Description:

This virtual multi-cache will take you on a tour of OSU campus that might take anywhere from one to three hours. The overall difficulty rating is due to reliance on mathematics to complete coordinates. The terrain difficulty is due to the sheer lack of parking (therein lies a major challenge) and due to the many people in these areas. NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A CALCULATOR FOR THIS CACHE, unless your mathematical skills are very good [;)]

The first cache coordinates (above) will provide information for the second cache. The second cache will provide information for the third cache and so on.
I have selected these areas for their beauty and interesting information. If you have the time, peruse the immediate area of each of these caches. Some day, I might end this multi-cache with an actual cache hidden somewhere. Until then, just email me with the correct answer to the last cache question to complete this virtual cache.
--to get to Cache 2. Determine the four digit year in which the first cache object was found (it is also the year the foundation was excavated for the building). Multiply the four digit year by 0.018 and round up to the next whole number (these two digits are AA). Multiply the four digit year by 0.0295 and round to the next whole number (these two digits are BB).

Go to N 40* 00.AA1' W 083* 01.BB5
--to get to Cache 3. Determine the number of 180 degree turns to get to the center from the outer edge. Start on the east-southeast side. Only count the 180 degree turns, causing you to travel in the opposite direction. Multiply the two digit number by 7.35 and round up to the next whole number (these three digits are CCC). Multiply the two digit number by 6.07 and round up to the next whole number (these three digits are DDD).

Go to N 40* 00.CCC W 083* 01.DDD
--to get to Cache 4. Determine the four digit year that , in one hour, Jesse Owens set three world records during a Big Ten Championship. Multiply the four digit year by 0.044 and round up to the next whole number (these two digits are EE). Multiply the four digit year by 0.3065 and round up to the next whole number (these three digits are FFF).

Go to N 40* 00.0EE W 083* 00.FFF
--to get to Cache 5. Determine the number of tiers on this structure. This number is G.

Go to N 39* 59.G73 W 083* 00.G14
--to get to Cache 6. Find information that will help you determine the four digit year that the Browning Dramatic Society was organized. Multiply the four digit year by 0.4527 and round up to the next whole number (these three digits are HHH). Multiply the four digit year by 0.2024 and round up to the next whole number (these three digits are JJJ).

Go to N 39* 59.HHH W 083*01.JJJ
--at Cache 6. Determine the number of grooves in the cement pillar. This number is the answer you must email to me to complete the virtual cache.
As stated before, I may complete this virtual cache with an actual cache containing OSU paraphenalia. Until then, I hope you have enjoyed the tour and took some time to look around these areas.
