When traveling, I enjoy solving mystery caches for the areas I plan to visit and then upon arrival retrieve as many as I have time to. This cache is a tribute to the puzzlemakers of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Special thanks to Team_Geocachers for agreeing to maintain this cache should the need arise. This mystery cache does have a slight touch of evil in it...
Solve the puzzle below to locate the cache. There is only one correct solution.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
The solution is in the form:
N41° 07.X W075° 53.Y
In the equations below, A through G are all distinct positive integers. Solve for X and Y.
9925 = A2 + B2 = C2 + D2
E = C + D - 128
F = (B + D) - (A + C)
G = C - D
X = 14 - 12D - 10C + 63A
Y = 7D - 35C + 26B - 2
