Geocache Description:


STEELERS SUPER BOWL CACHES
Super Bowl IX
Super Bowl X
Super Bowl XIII
Super Bowl XIV
Super Bowl XL
The Pittsburgh Steelers are Super Bowl Champions for the sixth time! This cache is the final prize of a series to honor Sixburgh, the only city to have six Super Bowl trophies!

During the 2008 season, the Steelers accomplished the amazing feat of winning their sixth Super Bowl despite having played the toughest schedule in the NFL. Led by the dominant Steeler defense, one of the best if not the best ever in NFL history, the Steelers made it through their tough schedule, winning their division and beating the Chargers and Ravens to make it to Super Bowl XLIII against the Cardinals. Then, in what might be the best Super Bowl game ever, the Steelers brought home their sixth trophy after a game that featured the longest touchdown play in Super Bowl history (James Harrison's 100-yard interception return) and an amazing final drive that ended with a TD pass from Ben Roethlisberger to MVP Santonio Holmes.

This cache should not be attempted after dark. Also, parking is limited at the cache site to probably no more than one or two cars. The FTF prize is just Terribly perfect for anyone who likes this series!

This cache is the culmination of a six-cache series. You must get the first five and collect the numbers in them in order to figure out where this one is placed. Here's the tricky part.

First, find X. There is a "pattern" to the numbers placed in the first five caches. Figure out the pattern, and then ask yourself what number should be in this cache. That number is X.

Figuring out Y is much simpler: Y = the sum of the five numbers in the first five caches.

You will find the final prize Y hundredths of a mile from the posted coordinates, at a bearing of X degrees.

(Note: due to the nature of the math involved in this puzzle, this cache was hidden with special permission from the reviewer, allowing the posted coordinates to be more than two miles from the final cache.)
