Advanced Mathematics Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

greenwoodturner: Went today to check on this on, since I was in the area ... but I couldn't even get to the cache because there was a small homeless camp there. I really don't want to be bringing cachers around where people are living, so we've opted to archive this one.

Geocache Description:

This is the first in a series of new Team GreenWoodTurner puzzles!  These puzzles will not be micros in the woods, nor will they simply require you to Google a bunch of useless information.  Instead, you will need to grab a pencil and some paper, and use the old noggin!  This puzzle is one we encountered during our travels and we felt so satisfied (and relieved) after solving it, that we knew we had to share it with the local geocaching community.  Enjoy!!

The coordinates listed on the cache page are not correct, so don't go there!  Instead, you must first solve a puzzle, in order to obtain the real coordinates.  We've included a coordinate checker so that you can verify your answer.

Using the puzzle below, you must populate it using the numbers 1-19, so that the sum of each row and each diagonal is the same; you cannot duplicate any of the 19 numbers ... each number can only be used once!


Once you've solved the puzzle, the real coordinates can be obtained using the following formula:

N 44 36.[I-J-1] [C-6] [B-J-1] W 123 14.[M+H+1] [E-G-5] [D/K]



You will be looking for a camo'ed peanut butter jar. Good luck! This is meant to be a difficult puzzle, so please refrain from putting spoilers into your logs.

Congratulations to LiefPhotos for FTF honors!
