Geocache Description:


Below you'll find some very basic math problems that you will need to solve to get the coords for this cache. The math isn't very difficult. The only problem is that some of the numbers have been hexed! Some will have the ability to see through this magic quickly while others will have to research a bit to find the counter spell.

The container is a large lock and lock that I obtained from dsoukup's seed cache (GC1ZV06). Inside you will find some tradables a logbook and hopefully a pencil. Bring your own just in case though. The listed coords will take you to parking within easy walk of the cache site.

Congratulations to Cardinal for FTF. Thanks for getting my travel bug on his way!

Solve the problems below for the coords.

First the latitude:

36 AB CDE

A = (03E8/0064) - 000A
B = 2710/07D0
C = eighth root of 0100
D = 0010/0002
E = 2710 - 270D

Now the longitude:

094 FG HIJ

^ = power of. i.e. 2 ^2 is 2 squared.

F = 000F - 000E
G = cube root of 001B
H = FFFF - FFFD
I = (CCCC) ^0 - (0001) ^5
J =( 0010 / 0008)^2
