Geocache Description:

This cache has plenty of space for travel bugs, geocoins, and other swag. The cache is not at the posted coordinates. To find it you must do the math below.

This cache was originally named "Arithmophobia Series - Long Addition." It was originally hidden on 12/22/2014. Due to construction at its original hiding spot this cache had to be moved to a new spot.

How good are you at adding very large numbers together?

To find this cache you must follow these eight steps:
    1. Get the first 64 digits in the number Pi, .
    2. Make a 64-digit whole number by ignoring the decimal point in Pi. (ie. instead of 3.14159xxxxx you should have 314159xxxxx.)
    3. Now take that 64-digit whole number and add it to this number:
       6134125114102120059055766290684662053321512176748610120274727153
    4. Your answer, the sum, should be a 64-digit whole number that starts with a '9' and ends with a '5' and there should only be one zero in the number.
    5. Take the eight digits preceding the zero and divide that 8-digit number by 1 million. Now you have the Latitude in Decimal Degrees.
    6. Take the eight digits after the zero, divide it by 1 million, and make it a negative number. Now you have the Longitude in Decimal Degrees.
    7. You can use the Waypoint Converter to convert from Decimal Degrees (DegDec) to Degrees and Minutes (MinDec).
    8. You can check your final answer for this puzzle on www.Geochecker.com.
