Geocache Description:


Another puzzle of mine whose genesis was a math test. Enjoy.
  1. A plane is flying 715.17 meters directly over a truck. The angle of depression between the plane and the airport is 1º. How far is the truck from the airport? ABCDE.
  2. A plane is flying 304.15 meters directly over a truck. The angle of depression between the plane and the airport is 1º. How far is the truck from the airport? FGHIJ.
The final is at N 47º AB.CDE W 122º FG.HIJ. Bring your own pencil. The final location is jam-packed with muggles on weekdays between 2:30 and 4:30, so those are  bad times to search for this one. Good luck.

Congrats to Dugfresh and Melicious for their 9:06 PM FTF, and to RC64 for his STF soon after!
