What could be more mysterious or puzzling than pi? The idea of this number is simple: divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter. Seems simple but it really gets crazy!!!
When I first thought of having a 'Pi Day' cache, I knew that it would have to entail something somewhat irrational-- I considered taking the first 5000 places of pi and implanting the cache values into the sequence here and there and so the prospective finder would have to compare pi place by place (5000 places!) with the values given in the description to find the necessary 6 extra values. The more I though of this the more I realized that this was more than crazy so I devised a slightly less devilish way to hide the numbers that you need to find this piece of pi!
p = 3.

Look carefully! The cache is located at:
N38° 27.??? W122° 46.???
Checksum for the six mystery digits[added to a single digit] is 6.
