Geocache Description:

A puzzle about two Geocachers.



This is a series of 19 puzzle caches in the shape of a question mark on the map of Burgess Hill. All hides are within (or on the very edge of) the urban area of Burgess Hill, but I have tried to keep them away from places overlooked by buildings.

The cache is not at the published co-ordinates and going there will not help you to solve the puzzle. The cache is less than a mile from the published co-ordinates

This is the story of two legendary fictional cachers, Letsmartman and TofPronks. Letsmartman has been caching for years. He found his first cache on the 1st of march 2006 and up to and including the 9th of May 2012 he has amassed a vast total of 7,574 finds. That’s a find rate of 3.3484 per day. TofPronks is by comparison relatively new to the game, having found his first cache on 21 Feb 2011, but his prolific find rate of 6.7613 finds per day, means that after including the 9th of May 2012 he has already found 3,002 caches.

Assuming these two cachers continue to find geocaches at the same rate in the future, on which day in the future will TofPronks overtake Letsmartman in the total finds stakes?

Write your answer in the format DD/MM/20YY then use this formula AB/CD/20EF to determine the values of A,B,C,D,E & F

The co-ordinates of the cache are:
N 50 5(F+E).(D+2)(F-2)C, W 000 0(F+2).(F-A)BA
