Geocache Description:

TWO CONTAINERS, TWO LOCKS, TWO PUZZLES
This is a Re-Do of the "YUMA JUICE" cache.

This Is A Container With-in A Container

NOTE: The Large Container May Need A Hard Jerk To Open It,...... (Not To Worry It Won't Break)

Note: In all calculations, DO NOT round up - down - or sideways....let the decimals runnnnnnnn!

PUZZLE # 1 (Big Container)

What Would The Operating Cost Be For The Following Unit?

  • A 218 Volt Motor that Pulls 22.658 Amps

  • Runs continuously for 13.5 days

  • Power Rate: First 400 KWH @ 8 cents, Second 400 @ 12 cents, any after that @ 14 cents
Take 30% of the operating cost. Divided this by 13/64....The First Four Numbers are the Access Numbers for the first Container!
Puzzle #2 (Small Container,Amno Can)

In Joe's goat pen there is a DRIPPING TAP...It drips at rate of 525 ML every 17 minutes. How much water would he waste in Gallons, a week (seven-days)--How much would this cost him each month

Add these two answers together, Divide by (.750)---- the first four numbers equals the Access Number for the small container.

NOTES:
  • Water Cost...First 20 Units.....$1.42 per Unit.
  • 1 Unit Equals 100cu ft,....748 Gallons.....1 cu ft Equals 7.48 gallons
  • Use 4.3 for weeks in a month
  • One Fluid Ounce equals 29.57353 ml
Congrats for FTF, Magimark and Joker 11
