To find the cache coordinates, you will have to look up some
geocaching history.
We have placed our “Original Stash” geocoin in the cache. Feel free
to take note of the coin number and log the coin but leave it in
cache for others to do the same.
Answer the following questions in order to find the
cache.
A. The year in which the first cache (then called stash) was
placed.
B. The state in which the first cache was placed.
C. The color of the first cache container.
D. The coordinates for the original cache were N 45 17.460 W 122
24.xxx
E. “Geocaching” was first coined by Matt___.
F. Jeremy____ created Geocaching.com.
Now that you have the answers, a few guidelines for what to do
with these answers:
If the answer is a number, leave it as is. If the answer is verbal,
convert each letter as follows:
A=1, B=2, C=3,…., Z=26. Then, sum the total of the resultant
numbers. So, as an example, “Cache” would convert to 3+1+3+8+5.
Totaling these, our final answer is 20.
The coordinates for the cache itself are: N 41 37.UVW W 091
32.XYZ
Where:
U= B-E-1
V= A÷1000
W= C-26
X= F ÷ 7
Y= C * 4 - 109
Z= (E+B)÷7-12
