Geocache Description:

Poly the Parrot knows it all, especially the coefficients of a polynomial.


Poly has a polynomial in his mind which is in the form of:

y = A + Bx + Cx2 + Dx3

Every 24 hours Poly will pick a random value for x and provide the corresponding value of y.
Just tickle Poly to get today's values.

All you need to do is work out the values of A,B,C and D.
Once you have the coefficients plug them into the following formula:

N51° A+B E000° C+D

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
