There is absolutely nothing wrong with the coordinates above.
I'm sure they would take you to a very nice location where you
could enjoy God's creation. However, if you want to find this
cache, I don't recommend going there; I recommend solving the
puzzle instead.
Everyone knows what a prime number is, right? If not, check out
Wikipedia.
The first few primes are (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ....). But a
subset of primes are also what I would call "double primes". Not
only is the number prime, but if you add up each of the digits in
the number, the sum is a prime also. So, 2 is a double prime, since
the sum of its digits is 2, which is a prime. Also, 11 is double
prime, since the sum of its digits (1+1) is 2, which is prime.
However, 13 and 17 aren't double prime, because the sum of their
digits is 4 and 8 respectively, which aren't prime. Therefore, the
first 8 double primes are (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 23, 29, 41). See, that
wasn't so hard.
So, if I asked you for the 3rd double prime, it would be 5. If I
asked you for the 8th double prime, 2nd digit, it would be 1 (from
41). Get it? Got it. Good. On with the puzzle ....
2nd double prime (DP)
7th DP, 2nd digit
10th DP, 1st digit
32nd DP, 2nd digit
15th DP, 2nd digit
9th DP, 1st digit
14th DP, 2nd digit
13th DP, 1st digit
46th DP, 1st digit
46th DP, 2nd digit
First DP > 500, 2nd digit
number of DPs < 1000, 2nd digit
48th DP, 2nd digit
69th DP, 3rd digit
As I've said before, please don't try this by hand! Disclaimer: the
