Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.



The cache is somewhere within a wall that spans from the coordinates listed above northward to W. Capital Ave. as shown below.

Wall

The seven-digit latitude (Lt) and eight-digit longitude (Ln) coordinates of the cache are defined by equations with two unknown numbers A and B.

Lt = (A/B) x 12770420.57143 . . Ln = (B/A) x 3544970.625

Determine the values of A and B from the following facts. One of the unknown numbers is a prime and the other one is an even number. Both numbers have values less than 50 and their product is less than 175. The sum and difference of these two numbers as well as the sum of the digits that form these two numbers are all prime numbers.


Alternatively you can just go to the wall and do the following.
  • Count the total number of sections over the length of the wall. . T = _____
  • Subtract 100 from the total. . S = T-100 = _____
  • Starting from either end of the wall, count in S sections and then search the next S sections. The cache can be found between two of these sections.
  • (Optional) When you log your find mention that the math was so easy you did it in your head and didn't bother verifying with certitude.

Verify with certitude. ..Congratulations to first finder dclendenin.
