Paparazzi #2 - One meter, meters, & mils Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

BMW X1: The container is missing and the hints at the posted coords are in the crosshairs of the LRT Project. I don't like to archive a cache, but this one's got to go.

Thanks to all that came over to do the first multi I placed.

Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

All the info to calculate the cache coordinates are at the posted coordinates

 

X represents the distance in Meters from the posted coordinates

Y represents the True North direction in Mils.

 

 

To determine X:

You need to know:

(W) The number of wires protruding from the bottom of the larger electric box that feed the billboard panels 

(F)   The Frequency

 

 X = ((W-3) X 100) + (F-23)

 

To determine Y:

You need to know:

(B) The number of narrow black stripes in the 2nd bar code from the top (Or the 2nd bar code from the bottom - your choice)

(S) The amperage rating for this meter.

(C) The circumference (cm) of the meter’s glass cover.  To avoid decimal discrepancies, round off this number to the closest integer.  The last digit is 6

 

Y will be the second prime number greater than (B-3) X S X C ÷ 276.

 

The cache is a container with room for a geocoin.
