Recipe Keys for Fire! Multi-Cache
texasgrillchef: This cache has been archived. Please do not go to the first coordinates as the family who watching over this cache has moved.
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Requires good basic match skills &/or calculator. Great for the
kids to practice their math skills!
Take no concern of the family &/or dog at your first location
providing you remain on the correct side of the fence. They are
aware of this geocache site & will not interfere.
This cache/hide is a memorial for my late Father. He was a math
teacher for many years. Taught middle school, H.S., & college
& graduate level math.
The only physical caches are at the start & the end of this
multi-cache. The final is on the beautiful new trail system next to
the lake. Located just a small distance off the trail. Beware of
the thorny baby mesquite trees and cactus.
Terrain rating is based on the "Final Location". All other
waypoint's terrain is a 1 star.
This geocache contains my favorite recipes as well as key chains
& a few other items. I would like this to be a NEW way for
recipe exchange. :) Bring along your old key chains for exchange as
well!
The difficulty rating is based on the fact that you must use math
& that there are more than 5 waypoints to the end. The
information you need to obtain & the caches at the start and
end are quite easy to find.
Congratulations to Auctnr to be the FTF!
All coordinates follow this format:
N 33 A.BCD
W 96 VW.XYZ
A.BCD & VW.XYZ are in the mm.mmm format of Long/Lat
For all math equations, DO NOT ROUND, Drop all digits AFTER the 3rd
decimal place.
Find out before you go the answers to the following
questions:

took office, also same year the FIRST succesful attempt to get to
the summit of Mount Everst by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing
Norgay.
Formula to get to Waypoint 2 from Waypoint 1

VW.XYZ = Current West mm.mmm + Q2
(Use given Long/Lat mm.mmm as given on geocaching.com)
Formula to get to WP 3 from WP 2
Find 4 digit number at this location (WP2). This is your magic #
Q3
A.BCD = Q3 / 826.028
For the West coordinates The 4 digit number is represented as
ZYXX
VW = 52
Formula to get to WP 4 from WP 3
Find a 4 digit number at this location (WP3). This is your magic #
Q4
A = Q7
BCD = (Q4 / 6.285) - .396
VW.XY = ((Q4 * 9.46) + 48.34) / 1000
Z=0
Formula to get to WP 5 from WP 4
Find the Established Year for the location (WP4)? This is your
magic # Q5
A.BCD = ((Q5 / 2.892) + 5075.858) / 1000

Find a 4 digit number at this location (WP5). This is your magic #
Q8
0A.BCD = (Q8 / 1000) + 0.066
VW.XYZ = ((Q8 * 11.452) / 1000) + 0.002
Best Parking Location to obtain WP6 (Final Cache)
A = The number of Super Bowls the Dallas Cowboys have won - 1 (as
of 2008).
BC = The first year (Season year) that the Dallas Cowboys played
their FIRST game. Represented as 19BC

of Mount Everst by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Also the same
year that Stalin Died, & Eisenhowerr became president.
Represented as 19VW
XYZ = First 3 digits of a Toll Free phone call. Where all 3 digits
added up = 8. Example... 123 = 6 (The 1 prefix does NOT
count)
P.S. If you believe this cache or any of my caches need my
attention for whatever reason. Please log a "Need
Maintenance" log in addition to either your "Found" or "DNF"
log. I will Not be offended. This is because I have over
250+ cache hides & by logging an "NM" log this will be of great
help to me in maintaining all of my cache hides, & which caches
of mine that need my attention. Thank You in advance for your help
in this matter.
