Geocache Description:

*** CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES! ***

One of my teachers liked to spontaneously hold what he called Number Drills. The chalkboard would be erased and several problems put up for us to solve as quickly as possible. The idea was to keep our basic math skills sharp. This inspired me to create a puzzle cache, with a twist. The theme is, "weird fractions".

So sharpen your pencils and get out a clean sheet of paper. All right, everyone ready?

3.14159 is a good approximation of Pi. Some of the answers will have many digits to the right of the decimal point. Please round the numbers so that there are only three digits to the right of the decimal. For example. 4.567134 would become 4.567.



BYOP!

Congratulations to Seeingitdifferent and Sparkyfry on the FTF!
