Geocache Description:


Photobucket

 

This cache is not at the posted co-ordinates.  You will have to solve the following math problems to find the true co-ordinates.

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Question A:   Find the area of the cross figure to the nearest whole number. (Note: the "ticks" on the sides mean that all sides with the tick are the same length.)

Question B:  The sum of three consecutive numbers is 309. What is the value of the greatest of the three numbers?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Question C: Find the area, in cm2 of the red circle to the nearest whole centimetre. (ie: 1.5 rounds to 2;  1.4999999 rounds to 1).  The area of the red circle is your answer.

(Note: the "ticks" on the sides mean that all sides with the tick are the same length.)

After you have solved the above questions, solve the following question.  The variables represent the answer to the coinciding question above.

 

{(a+b+c) - ([d+1]÷e) - ee - [40(59)] x [(c - (c-1))]} + 24.5 =   BLUE

(a+b+c+d+e) - (b+c+d+e+36) x (-3+e) =  GREEN  

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

TO FIND THE CO-ORDINATES:

Take your  BLUE  answer and add it to the NORTH Co-ordinates.

Take your  GREEN  answer and add it to the WEST Co-ordinates.
