Geocache Description:

This is my first puzzle cache and I have enjoyed making it.  I hope you enjoy it as well.

The cache container is not at the posted coordinates.

A) The first part of the puzzle is multifaceted, has an astronomical name, a body which measures 58.9 27.7 45.4, and weighs in at ?????

To find the N part of the coordinate solve the following:

 

Subtract CDXCIX.DCXLVDLXXXIII from the answer to A

B) This monarch who ruled from the age of 18 to 81 was crowned on the ??(th/nd) day of June.  Now subtract two and you have the part of the W coordinate identified by B

 

C) This son of George I and Sophia Dorothea was crowned at the age of 43 in the year ???? The answer is will be used in place of C in the equation below.

 

D) A little less than a ¼ through his reign this monarch changed his family name to something less German.What year did this monarch take the throne? This answer is represented by D in the equation.

 

E) This Norman was promised the English crown.When a Saxon denied him of the crown, he attacked England and took it. What year did this Norman King die? This, as I'm sure you guessed, is considered E in the equation.

 

((C+E)(40))-1560)/(D/95.5)=X

 

-096.BX   (BX is not B*X it is just B then X)
