The Cache is not at the posted coordinates…
For my first Hide, I have found an awesome location with an equally incredible set of coordinates. I have dedicated this hide to the “Celestial Badger”, his quality hides and cache quality have inspired me to create a cache that is a treasure to behold in a truly celestial location.
The location is in a fairly busy area but has enough cover to allow a stealthy find. There is a park bench nearby to view your plunder.
If you wanna get the Cache,
You have to Do the Math!!!
1) We are looking for a 3 digit number which is also a repdigit. This number has the amazing property of being equal to the sum of the cubes of each digit and the sum of each digit in the number. I will give you the equation to help get you started.
The number of the form(X,X,X)= X³ +X³+ X³ + X+X+X
The trick of this one is how to express (X,X,X) in a form that works with the equation above. And of course the algebra!!
This number makes up the decimal portion of the Northing
2) The Celestial Badger has a New Years Resolution. For 2008 he vows to find one more cache than the day before. He his going to start on January 1, with one find., Jan 2 two finds…. Assuming he logs each find ,like a good badger would, how many finds would he have logged in 2008 at the end of Tuesday February 5, 2008.
This answer will be a 3 digit number and is equal to the decimal part of the Westing. We will call it (W)
3) I like repdigits. Please take your answer (W) and multiply it by a repdigit fraction made up of the first prime number and everybody's favourite number 1. The fraction is of the form (11)/(P1,P1,P1) P1 is equal to the first prime number therefore (P1,P1,P1) is a repdigit of the first prime number.
The answer for this is Z therefore
Z= (W) * (11)/(P1,P1,P1)
Look its another Repdigit!!!
This number is the minutes portion of the Northing or (Z)
4) We need to find the minutes fraction of the Westing.
The minutes portion of the Westing is the Minutes portion of the angle found in the following Mathematical problem.
On a recent trip to Toronto, Gerry geocacher stayed at the Global Village Backpackers Hostel at 460 King St. West. This geocacher’s window was facing south and had an excellent view of the CN tower. Since he was a geocacher he took a waypoint at his hotel and another one the base of the tower. He found the distance from his particular room to the tower to be 833.91 M. Now what is the angle that the CN tower subtends from his hotel room. Gerry took a photo of the CN tower from his room and I have included it. Please round the answer off to two decimal points.
Now all of you Geocachers know what to do with this answer. The Minutes portion of the angle substended is the actual minutes portion of the Westing in our coordinates. We will call this number (M)
You now should have all of the information to find my special coordinates.
The substitution formula used to find the coordinates is.
N 53 (Z).(X,X,X) W 113 (M).(W)
Please load this amazing coordinate into your GPSr and find the treasure chest!!!
If your coordinates are taking you to Spruce Grove, reread question #4.
There is a great FTF prize, and you have the opportunity to have first pick of the spoils of your hunt.
Please re-hide as found.
