Geocache Description:


Flowery Twats

bucketeer's 22nd cache

The Anniversary was the last of 12 Episodes of the classic British sitcom Fawlty Towers.

Outraged that Basil has forgotten their 15th wedding anniversary, Sybil leaves the hotel. But little does she know that Basil has indeed remembered and has invited some of their close friends to celebrate. How will Basil explain Sybil's absence?

The cache is not at the listed coordinates, you will not find any clues there either, however you may get wet

A little puzzle to solve and help you find the cache

Puzzle

You need  to move entire stack from the left pin to the right pin inline with these rules:

Only one disk may be moved at a time.
Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the rods and sliding it onto another rod, on top of the other disks that may already be present on that rod.
No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.

    With 3 discs the minimum number of moves required is 7 


    Now it's your turn

    A = The second digit of the minimium number of moves required for 11 discs

    BC = The sum of digits of the minimum number of moves required for 32 discs 

    D =  The last digit of the minimum number of moves required for 36 discs

    W = The first digit of the number of moves required for 6 discs

    X = The first digit of the number of moves required for 42 discs

    YZ = The fouth and fifth digit of the number of moves required for 45 discs


    The Cache is located at  S37° 5A.BCD E140° 4W.XYZ




    You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
