Geocache Description:


Kurt Gödel
(1906-1978)

Kurt Gödel was an Austrian logician and mathematician whose work dealt primarily in the proof of natural number systems. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem basically stated that a set of axioms for any complete set of natural numbers cannot fully prove all of the truths for that given set. This had a great impact on how logic was used in mathematical proofs. To show this, he used a numbering system that could be used to turn strings (such as number sets and equations) into numbers using a unique numbering method.

Below are some coordinates that Gödel could appreciate. Once you locate the cache, you will obtain a pair of numbers (in a more traditional format) that can be used to find GC3CB69 - An Eternal Golden Braid. Good luck and happy solving!
