This puzzle is to find out if a Cone Head has a larger brain
than a human. (Assuming of course that the entire cone is brain
matter.)
An average human brain has a volume of 2174 cm3 and weighs 1300
– 1400 grams.Once you know if a cone heads brain is larger
than a humans by calculating the volume and weight of a cone heads
brain, you will then be able to calculate the coordinates.
To solve this puzzle, the following is assumed:
- The top circumfrence of the cone is 7.5 in.
- The bottom circumfrence of the cone is 22.6 in.
- The height of the cone is 16 in.
- The s.g. of brain matter is 39.981 lbs/ft3
- All calculations must be
done using only numbers rounded to the 1000th.
- All calculations must be
done using only grams and centimeters.
While it may be tempting to use one of many online conversion or
volume calculators, keep in mind that these do not round
calculations to the 1000th and could result in a mis-calculation of
this puzzle.
- North Coordinate = weight + 757.145
- West Coordinate = volume + 6024.108
To check your math add the individual numbers of each coordinate
together.
If your numbers add up to these, you have either calculated
correctly and should go look for the cache, or you have grossly
mis-calculated and should try again rather than leave the state to
look for the cache.
*SPOILER ALERT*
If you absolutely cannot solve this, and never will, I have placed
4 micro caches to help you. Each of these caches contains a micro
puzzle to solve for a part of the coordinates. No links, you'll
have to figure out which they are the hard way.
There are many formulas for solving the volume of a cone. Using the
wrong formula may end in differing coordinates. The formula that
should be used is: pi/3*h((tr*tr)+(tr*br)+(br*br)).
