Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Container is a small cammoed nut container.


Puzzle changed 2/25/11 due to old location being removed. If you previously solved the puzzle either re-solve it or add .007 to the latitude and .031 to the longitude for the new coordinates.

Pi is one of the most important mathematical constants, approximately equal to 3.14159. It represents the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in Euclidean geometry, which is the same as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. Many formulas from mathematics, science, and engineering include pi.
All you need to do to solve this puzzle is use the string of digits after the decimal point to derive the coordinates for this cache.
  • First, find the position where the string 7603420 first appears. This seven digit number will give you the latitude.

  • Next look for the eight digit string that starts in the 65,446,453rd position. This will show you the longitude.

Both sets of coordinates are in DD(D) MM.MMM format.

That's it! Piece of ca....errr pie!
