Geocache Description:


Welcome to the wonderful world of "Digital Logic" or, as we like to say:

"01100001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101000 01100001 01101001 01101100 00100000 01100111 01100101 01100101 01101011 01110011"

But I digress, this puzzle should serve as an introduction into the world of simple logic gates.  Once solved you'll have coordinates for a cache hidden in Bertini Park in Wallingford, CT.

There are many, many resources on the web to get you started on this puzzle, as always, Google is your friend.  If you enjoy these sorts of puzzles, try my other binary cache located here: XOR, AND OR What?

On to the puzzle...

The two diagrams below will result in a 10 digit Binary number.  That number when converted to Decimal will equal the last three digits of the North and West coordinates.

N41° 24.XXX   W72° 48.XXX

 


Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[Checksums (entire coordinate): N=27 W=40]
