Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To find this cache you will need to solve two puzzles involving simple math. (Really! Those two words go together.) Let's see if you have the Xi Factor!

Final coordinates are N 28 _ _ . _ _ _  W 095 _ _ . _ _ _

Solve this puzzle for minutes of the North coordinates:
5 3 7 0 _ _ _ _ _ 6 4 9 7 7 0
 
Solve this puzzle for minutes of the West coordinates:
9_271   806_4   36_63   _5267   6084_

The cache container is a non-camouflaged big bison tube.  Be aware of your surroundings at GZ so you don't draw undue attention. At certain times the area will have many muggles.

I'll add a hint after the FTF honors are bestowed.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.


Congratulations to
mujonny
