Geocache Description:

Computer circuits/logic gates and geocaching....together at last.

Coordinates listed above are of the parking lot. You need to solve the puzzle to find the cache.


This puzzle should be simple to solve for anyone who has taken a digital logic class. For those who haven't taken this type of class, or need a refresher, the following link will provide all the information you need to solve this puzzle. Wikipedia - Logic Gates

Take the number 3539284345 and convert it to binary. Plug it into the diagram above. The most significant bit goes into A and the least significant bit goes into Z. When you finish solving the diagram take the results and convert them back to decimal format. When finished, N0-N15 will be for the north coordinates and W0-W11 will be for the west coordinates. (Keep in mind, the zeros are the most significant bit) The formats when finished should be N38 ##.### and W 77 ##.###

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
