Geocache Description:


This is my first cache hide. Go easy on me! Bring your own pen as well.
The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. Below is the puzzle you must work out to find the cache. You can write a very simple program or spend hours with a calculator. I suppose you could even use an abacus if that suits you. But the power of the processor will win the day.

13 * 2 = 26
x * y = 133745639

Figure out the possible values of x and y.
x and y cannot be 1 and are both whole positive numbers.

Once you have established values for x and y, add them together.

Take this new number and grab the 6 most significant digits.

For example if your number was 12,345,678 then taking the 6 most significant digits would leave you with a new number, 123,456.

Splitting this number into 2 will give you the two 3 digit numbers you need to find the cache.

The 3 most significant digits will be added to the longitude in the coordinates below.
The 3 least significant digits will be added to the latitude in the coordinates below.

N 41 45.556
W 83 37.483


In the above example 123 would be added to the longitude and 456, the latitude.

Now you have the coordinates to the cache. Or do you? Have fun and please place the cache back the way you found it making sure that it is sealed properly. Also, please do not expose the cache contents to wet weather.
