Geocache Description:



This puzzle cache is the bonus of a series of caches that when viewed on a map creates a
Geo Art image of a Bicyclist.

The final locations for these puzzles are along the Tri-County Triangle Trail and may be reached by bicycling and other non-motorized forms of locomotion. Parking coordinates for the finals in the series may be found as a waypoint on the cache page for the first cache in the series, Geo Art: Bicyclist - #01. Finally, after solving all of the puzzles in this series, you may use those solutions to find the coordinates for this bonus cache (see below). The total round-trip distance on the Triangle Trail in order to get all of the finals and the bonus cache is approximately 16 miles. There are 47 caches (that make up the Geo Art) and the bonus cache!

Here are the 47 puzzles in this series, the solutions to which will allow you to find this bonus cache:

Bonus Puzzle

In order to find the final coordinates for this bonus puzzle, you will have to use the results of the other 47 puzzles in this series. Let X01 = the value of X from puzzle #01, let X02 = the value of X from puzzle #02, let X03 = the value of X from puzzle #03, ..., and let X47 = the value of X from puzzle #47. Now use these values in the following formulas to find the final coordinates given by

N 39 AB.CDE and W 083 FG.HIJ
where:

     A = X03 - (X01 + X04) / X05 - X02

     B = X08 + X06 - X09 - X10 / X07

     C = X11 / (X12 - X14) * (X15 - X13)

     D = X19 * ( (X16 - X18) - (X17 - X20) )

     E = (X21 + X23) / X25 * X22 / X24

     F = ( (X29 + X30) - X26) * (X27 - X28)

     G = (X32 - (X34 - X35) ) * X31 / X33

     H = X39 + X40 - X36 + (X38 - X37)

     I = X44 + 1 - (X41 + X42) / X43 - X45

     J = (X46 - X47) * X46

with the asterisk (*) standing for multiplication.

{The checksum for the ten missing digits is 51}.


Finally, a big thanks to cache_n_out for assisting in the planning for this project, for helping to hide the caches, and for graciously archiving two of his caches to make room along the bike trail and to City Slicker OH for helping to hide the caches!
