Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT located at the given coordinates. It is a camo'd container hidden in a usual fashion. May be hard to reach in the winter depending on the amount of snow.

In order to have some fun in my calculus classes, I give my students a "Bonus Question that has Nothing to do with Calculus." These are general trivia questions that require no math. This cache is a tribute to them.

In order to find this cache, you must answer the following questions. Each has an answer that is a number. This number will be one of the digits in the true location of the cache.

True coordinates: N 39 0A.BCD W 119 5E.FGH

A= The atomic number of the element whose most common isotope is protium

B= Two times the number of Superbowls won by the team whose first ever starting quarterback was Frank Tripucka.

C= The number of moons of the planet 2nd closest to the Sun.

D= The number of states that border the 19th state.

E= The number of Best Picture Academy Award winning films in which the well known actor who helped write and produce the Monkees' movie Head has appeared.

F= The DVD code for the country with the 4th largest population.

G= The first number that has its corresponding Roman Numeral in its name.

H= The key on a typewriter whose shift is an ampersand.

As a check, A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H = 29.
