Although the above coordinates are incorrect, they are within a
half mile of the real coordinates. The cache overlooks Delta High
School which has inspired many mighty rabbits to become great
mathematicians!
It is speculated that the first known use of numbers dates back to
around 35,000 BC. Bones and other artifacts have been discovered
with marks cut into them resembling tally marks. The tally marks
may have been used for counting purposes. The decimal Hindu-Arabic
numeral system was invented in India around 500 AD. The system was
revolutionary in that it included a zero. It is considered an
important milestone in the development of mathematics. The base 10
number system that we use today comes from these great
mathematicians.
The coordinates below are written using numerals that are direct
ancestors of the numerals we recognize and use today. The cache is
stuffed to the brim with mathematical swag. Enjoy!
