Geocache Description:

A  puzzle cache set especially for Pi Day on Pi Day.

A quick roadside cache near the pretty village of Vavatsinia close to the 'event' cache location.



 


The cache is not at the above coordinates. To find the correct coordinates solve the puzzle below.

A   The Greek symbol π was first used by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706 and became popular after it was adopted by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in 1737. Π was chosen because P is the first letter of:
1   Parallel
3   Perimeter  
5   Perpendicular
7   Polygon  
9   Pythagoras

B   π is a:
1   Odd number
2   Even number
3   Prime number
4   Square number
5   Imaginary number
6   Perfect number
7   Irrational number
8   Cube number
9   All of the above
0   None of the above

C   π’s 50th decimal place

The coordinates are N 34 53. ABC E 033 14. _ _ _

You probably realise where we are going with the eastings, but if not, we have put an encrypted hint in a note below.

Did you know that if you reflect 3.14 it becomes PI.E?

What do you get if you take a ball of dough and roll it out to form a thin cylinder with thickness 'a' and radius 'z', top it with tomato and cheese and bake it in an oven? 

Pi zz a
