Geocache Description:

My friend Chris is finishing his Masters degree in Math and teaches Pre-Calculus at UNLV.  He is a fellow hiker & when I brought up the idea of making a series of math-based puzzle caches, he happily agreed to help create this series.  Some will be fairly easy & some will be quite difficult.  No hiking needed for this one! Good luck!


Solve for N 36 A.B W 115 C.D

A is the largest quantity of consecutive natural numbers whose sum equals 120

B is 11 less than the area of largest rectangle whose perimeter is less than or equal to 100

C is the absolute difference between the number of time zones in the world and the number of degrees in each time zone (if they were uniform)

D is the smallest palindrome whose digits add to 11

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

Congrats to J&R_2003 for FTF!!!
