Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache with a bit extra to follow


Sadly, there is no fundamental theorem of trigonometry. But if there were one, it would be Pythagoras's theorem. Bring a bottle of water, you'll need it, there's no water where you're going.

N 51° 39.xxx

W 000° 34.yyy

xxx = 180 + 273

yyy = 482 - 240

At that place, you will find the coords for the final. Did you remember to bring the water?

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

If you're feeling ambitious, you can email me a proof of Pythagoras's theorem.

Prize for FTF - 300 gigabyte hard drive
