Intimidation Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Quick6: I was just out for a walk this afternoon and I found that the cache location had been chopped down. Unfortunately, I was not able to find the container either. Oh well the cache had a good run. I'll probably plant another one in this area soon.

Geocache Description:

Once you arrive at the GZ for this cache I believe you will understand why I have named this cache intimidation. The National Research Council has some of the finest scientific equipment not only in Canada but in the World. This cache will take you on a brief stroll through the North Half of the Montreal rd. Campus of NRC. I was jealous that the South side of campus had several caches and we had none so I decided to hide one in honor of finding my 100th cache.

First proceed to the posted coordinates, you will find no cache here. You will find a plaque commemorating Dr. John A. Hopps and his invention of the first heart pacemaker. On this plaque you will find three years, add the three years and calculate the digital root of the sum. Make B this digital root. Next proceed to the second coordinates, there you will find NRC’s Institute for National Measurement Standards. This institute is responsible for Canada’s official measures. They are at the cutting edge of science, helping the international community decide what a second is and a kilogram among other measurements. It is necessary to have international standards as cutting edge technology requires more and more precision to allow new developments. The current time standard an atomic clock is require to make GPS technology possible. Further advances to these standards will allow new technologies to be developed. They will also allowing further optimization of the electromagnetic spectrum allowing us to communicate more information through cables and the air. This building is numbered in the format, M-AA, where AA are numbers.

Now, assuming 45N and 75W, take the two numbers you have collected at the previous two waypoints and divide the result, AAB, by 13.509 to obtain the minutes North and 9.845 to obtain the minutes West.
