Geocache Description:

* Cache is not at the posted coordinates *

All the containers in this series are similar as well as the hides. Neither the puzzles nor the hides should be too difficult although some will be more challenging than others. Those that want a real challenge can attempt to find at least 50 puzzles on the same day and can qualify for the Very Puzzling Day Challenge, GC4GTY0.

Do you remember the Pyhagorean Theorem? The theorem states that the sides of a right triangle will relate to each other based on the formula a2 + b2 = c2. The easiest-to-calculate right triangle is the 3-4-5 triangle. 32 = 9, 42 = 16; 9+16 = 25 which is 52. To get the coordinates for this puzzle you need to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the first two given sides. So if you are given (3, 4), the answer is 5.

The final coordinates are North 38 A.B; West 96 C.D

A = (40, 42)
B = (340, 357)
C = (9, 12)
D = (498, 664)
