Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the listed coordinates. To determine the true coordinates solve the simple puzzle below.



NASA's intrepid Mars Exploration Rover, Spirit, has performed far beyond expectations. Sadly, Spirit's days roving the surface of Mars have come to an end. This cache has been placed in tribute to Spirit's journey.

Lat: How many miles (rounded to the nearest tenth) did Spirit travel? Multiply this number by 31.67, drop numbers after the decimal, and add to the latitude value listed.

Long: What year did Spirit land at Gusev Crater? Divide the year by 9.634, drop numbers after the decimal, and add to the longitude value listed.

[2/4/2017 Update] The original style of container is back! And the hint has been updated.
