James has wanted to do a maths based mystery cache for a while, and our 500th cache was as good an excuse as any. With a bit of help from his housemate this problem was cooked up, and tested by another one.

To solve this cache you must solve the problem, both sets of coordinates can be found from each stage, and you will need to build upon the information from a previous stage to work out the next stage. You may find it helps to draw it, but maths is required, although round your answers to the nearest whole number.

Stage 1: 5.83 at 59°

Stage 2: 5.1 at 53°

Stage 3: 3 at 0°

Stage 4: 11.4 at 218°

Stage 5: 2.24 at 333°

 

The cahce is located at N54° XX.XXX W001° XX.XXX

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

The final cache is a nano, so you may need tweezers and please BYOP.

Congratulations to Geordie Samurai FTF!
