Erich's Special Numbers Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bigguy In Texas: In town today on business and came to check on this cache. It was gone and no one had even been out here to look for it in almost a year. I think this one has served its purpose.
Thanks to all that came looking!

Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are not where you will find the cache. See below for how to find the solution.

I'm not really good with numbers, but I like trivia. To find the correct coordinates you will need to surf the web. If you are lucky you will find out "what's so special about these numbers". Good luck!

N - A B . C

W - D E . F

A - only positive # to be directly between a square and
a cube
B - only # that is twice the sum of its digits
C - smallest prime that remains prime when added to its
reverse
D - smallest # with the property that its first 5 multiples
contain the digit 9
E - maximum # of cubes that are needed to sum to any
positive integer
F - maximum # of pieces a torus can be cut into with 15 cuts
minus the number of Archimedian solids

***NOTE - Congrats to Singleguy for FTF! He did mention that some power lines near GZ made his unit dance around, so I have a clue for you botanical folks.
