Geocache Description:

Meditation time

First, you can follow this solving algorithm. Or not, you decide if you have better.

Anyway, I prepared before the puzzle some compilation of 'inspiration' location. Hope you'll like it :)

So, like I said: it's Meditation Time!

The idea of this cache occured to me during one of those moments, so, here it is...

This algorithm is based on the time spent in a private place, where even the emperor must go on foot
(and alone too)!

How much time have you spent during 'meditation' with this good old friend, always there for you
when in need, is just between you two...

Even from the start, some of us will need 5 minutes, some 45 minutes, some even longer...and longer...
And even more than once a day...

And what about the time when all seats were taken... and you really had to go! Finding and hiding in a
secluded place!

How many times you wished to be in a deep and dark forest, just by yourself, alone, with noone around!
What unforgettable moments!

And how many times good ideas came out of nowhere while here ...

A good old friend, always here to accept your deposits... as long as you're not thinking about
withdrawals...

I know, hard puzzles and job problems found solution during these moments... You can really relieve,
concentrate and think about a way to solve it...

I see that you're still thinking...

Now, concentrate! 1+1=2. Concentrate harder! 1+1=3? Who knows what idea might ~~poop~~ (ups, sorry)
pop out!

Any ideas yet? Maybe if you stay for another 5 minutes? Who knows, maybe the solution is right around
the corner... or not, maybe is another 'red herring'...

But the solution is there, hidden deeply and waiting for you to find it out: It's easy! Juuuuuust a little
longer!

Have you reclaimed the throne yet? Is the plumbing good? Are you sure? Have you tested it?

So, found it yet? Then get up, wipe your ..., clean your hands... and get out to log it...

Wait a second, haven't we forgot something? Oh, good friend, how could I forgot to flush you...

There, now all's clean... Let's go and sign the cache! Another puzzle solved!

Or not? :):):)

Anyway, everything looks so clean now!

Ah, you wonder if I forget about the puzzle? Nah, not to worry, I just presented the "solving algorithm".
Now for the puzzle:

A simple math problem:

1 = 2 - 1 = 2 + (-1) = 2 + (SQRT(-1))^2 = 2 + SQRT((-1)^2) = 2 + SQRT(1) = 2 + 1 = 3.

So, the underline expression is obviously! Finally you can see that everything we know about
mathemathics is wrong, as we just proved that 3 = 1.

Right? :):):)

Hehehe, where's the mistake?

You can check your answer here.

PS. You need to find the mmm of the North and East coordinates in order to solve the puzzle.
