A prestigious KK FTF Puzzle Cache button will be sent to the first lucky solver to come up with the solution and sign the cache log. I'm tossing in a Canadian Buck for Good Luck and a Bison Tube for a future cache. Log entries claiming a solution but can't make it for the FIND will be unceremoniously deleted. The cache is not at the posted coordinates but that is a great place to park to start the hunt.
PLEASE DO NOT place TBs or Geocoins in this cache!
The right triangle is one of the oldest geometric curiosities
with a number of special properties.
Right triangles come in various sizes and proportions
and are the foundation of real world design and engineering,
but one is particularly well-known because
the length of each side is a one-digit whole number.
In reference to THIS particular right triangle discussed
above, let's call the shortest side X, the medium side Y,
and the longest side (the hypotenuse) Z.
Here's your alpha/numeric decoder ring:
A=Z+Y
B=X+X+Z
C=F*X
D=B-Y
E=A+U
F=P+Y
G=X+D
H=C-K+A
I=B+Y+E
J=W+F-M
K=D+Q
L=B-A
M=I-G
N=B+I-M-E
O=U+D
P=E+Q
Q=K-D
R=N-X
S=D+E-G
T=S-A
U=G-Z+X
V=H-D-B
W=X+O+Q
letter X=R+J
letter Y=V-E
letter Z=O+G-M

Solving for the Northerly:
The first name of the guy that took this picture minus 28
The last name of the guy that took this picture added to (T*1.53) then subtract 88.548
Solving for the Westerly:
The first name of the guy in the space suit minus 19
The last name of the guy in the space suit added to (N*1.38) then subtract 60.317
