THE POSTED COORDINATES ARE NOT THE LOCATION OF
THE CACHE.
The coordinates do, however, mark the place where I had my recent
knee surgery.
Often, when I'm hiking I have to look within myself for the
strength to keep going.
To solve this puzzle and calculate the coordinates for this
magnetic key case, you'll have to look within me too.
A few months ago I had arthroscopic surgery on both of my knees to
clean up the ravages of time and get me back on the hiking trail.
I'm happy to report that the surgery was a complete success and my
knee pain is a thing of the past! (For now, anyhow.)
In this type of surgery, two small incisions are made. A tiny
video camera is inserted into one incision and the surgical tools
enter the other. The doctor can perform the surgery with a minimum
of trauma on the affected joint.
This link will take you to a video taken inside of my left
knee during the operation. (Don't worry -- it's not too gory or
bloody!)
To solve the puzzle, watch the video to determine the following
two values:
- AA = the maximum brightness percentage selected at about one
minute and thirteen seconds into the video.
- B.B = the maximum zoom level selected at about three minutes
and forty seconds into the video.
The cache is located in an "in theme" hiding place at:
where:
- XXX = (AA * 9) + 8
- YYY = (B.B * 160)- 1
The asterisk characters stand for multiplication.
Now hobble off and find this cache!
