Cache is a Nalgene bottle with a green lid and labeled clearly as a
geocache. It has the usual log book, pencil (please bring your own
just in case), and a variety of cache goodies. Trading is welcome
and encouraged. This area is very peaceful. Consider following the
trail to its end, if you have the time.
PLEASE do not tear up or destroy the landscape in your search.
There is no need to. The cords were taken with a 20 foot accuracy.
Please email me with any questions or problems with the cords. If
any photos are taken, I’d love to see them in the logs. Have
fun!
A "Number Pyramid" is composed of ten different numbers (usually
0 - 9) with four rows. ONE EXAMPLE of a Number Pyramid is as
follows: (dots are only for illustrative purposes)
......0......
.....1 2.....
....3 4 5....
...6 7 8 9...
Given the clues below, determine the composition of a new Number
Pyramid using the same numbers above (0-9). NOTE: the numbers of
the rows in the pyramid are first, second, third, fourth—from the
top down, respectively.
1) The sum of the two numbers in the second row is 11.
2) The sum of the numbers in the bottom row minus the sum of the
numbers in the third row equals 10.
3) The rightmost numbers in the four rows must sum to 18.
4) The middle number in the third row minus the leftmost number in
the second row should equal 4.
5) Subtracting the top number in the Pyramid from the rightmost
number in the second row leaves 4.
6) In the bottom row, the leftmost number is greater than the
second number from the left, while the rightmost number is greater
than the second number from the right.
N 46* 54.??? W 113* 58.???
Now it’s time to do a little math to get the correct cords! In
order to solve these problems, you must treat each line of the
pyramid as its own number (example: Row 4 in the original pyramid
is read as 6,789). However, you will only need the top three rows
of your new pyramid to solve these equations.
First solve for: N 46* 54.???
(Row 3 x 2) – (Row 2) + (Row 1 x 9) = ???
Now solve for: W 113* 58.??? (Row 3 x 4) – (Row 2) – (Row 1) – 2
= ???? (NOTE: only the last three numbers in this answer are used
for the correct cords!)
