Geocache Description:


The Fibonacci sequence is a progression of numbers where each term is the sum of the two preceding terms. For example,

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, . . .

This sequence was used in “The Da Vinci Code” (book, movie) as part of the clues left behind by the murdered curator as part of a message.

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates (even though the numbers may appear significant), but is about 3 miles away. The cache is located at the following coordinates:

37° B.F
122° J.Q

To find the coordinates of the cache location, complete each of the four sequences using the same pattern as above. B and J are two-digit whole numbers. F and Q are three-digit whole numbers. The remaining letters represent rational numbers.

1, A, B, C, 95

210, D, E, F, G, 1980

2, H, I, J, K, L, 62

14, M, N, 59, O, P, Q
