Math Cache! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:


The math cache has been created and filled by my math students at Rice Elementary. However, the cache is NOT on school property, so please don’t go to the school looking for it! The coordinates will lead you to a parking location that is close to the cache. Use the following clues, or math problems, to help you obtain the coordinates of the cache. All math problems used are part of the fifth grade curriculum at Rice Elementary. The following math problems will guide your way: (N 41° A B . C C D W 75° E E . F G H) (A = 4837 x 0 = A) (B = Missing angle of a triangle 100 + 72 + B = the sum of all angles) (C = Mary is 52. The sum of the ages of Mary and Bob is 121. How old is Bob?) (D = What’s the missing number in the pattern : 6, 84, 7, 85, D, 86) (E = Missing angle of a quadrilateral 90 + 62 + 151 +E = the sum of all angles) (F = Prime number between three and seven = F) (G= A cube has how many vertices?) (H= Use the digit in the ten thousandths place: 4,372.1394) Get your answers and fill in the blanks! You will be looking for a large container. Once you get close to the cache, it won’t be very hard to find at all! Please leave kid friendly items, as many students of the school will be seeking the cache out. There is a FTTC prize for the first finder.
