Geocache Description:

The cache is not at this location! Finding the real cache is easy if you are a globe trotting mathematician, otherwise some cunning google searches should put you on it pretty quick.

To find the actual cache, look at the number sequence below. This string is a very interesting pattern listing a certain type of number in sequence.

Subtract the numbers that replace the X's to the listed North coordinates for the actual North coordinate.

1, XX, 1225, 41616, 1413721, 48024900, 1631432881


To find the actual West coordinate, subtract the answers to the following questions from the listed West coordinate. (Note: You should be subtracting a four digit number)

- If I were in Hong Kong, what one number would I call to report an emergency involving a robbery, heart attack and car fire?

- If I were in Tokyo, what number would I call if I saw smoke coming from one neighbors house and I were bleeding profusely from a bad cut?

- If I were in Cairo reading an ancient manuscript with a magnifying glass and the dessert sun focused through the glass ignited the papyrus on the table, what number would I call?
