Geocache Description:

This may be a good place to park (hint, hint) but you will NOT find my cache here.

I was logging some caches the other day and got off track a bit. In doing so I saw that both BigBender and CriffRee were nearing milestones. BB at 1766 and CR at 2949! WOW, they are getting close to 2000 and 3000, respectively. I thought about making some sort of tribute cache for when they achieve this milestone but then I thought why wait, the numbers they are at now are incredible. So let's celebrate now. So for BigBender and CriffRee and all the other geocachers that are not exactly at a milestone this cache is for you.

I have noticed that both BigBender and CriffRee like math and number sorts of puzzles. In fact, at a recent geocaching event I heard CriffRee state that he opens a spreadsheet and throws in all the information for every puzzle cache. So, on to the puzzle.

Step 1. Open a spreadsheet

Step 2. In row 1, column 1 type: =(-11386-2/3)

Step 3. In row 1, column 2 type: =A1+(2333+1/3)

Step 4. Copy the formula in step 3 into the rest of the columns (to the right) in Row 1 until the number in the cell is at least 250,000. At this point there should be an increasing number in each cell in the first row.

Step 5. In row 2, column 1 type: 190.869822485

Step 6. In row 3, column 1 type: =A2-(71/1183)

Step 7. Copy the formula in Step 6 down the rows in column 1 until the number in the cell is no more than 5. At this point there should be a decreasing number in each cell in the first column

Step 8. In row 2, column 2 type: =$A2*B$1

Step 9. Copy the formula in step 8 into all the rows and columns below and to the right of the numbers you already created

Step 10. Find that cache!!!

Cache is a small camod container. Watch out for the thorns!
