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!
 

Playing with Primes

 

N 36.A.B

W 115.C.D

 

A is the smallest number divisible by two distinct odd primes.

B is the product of three distinct prime numbers. The sum of thirteen times the smallest prime and three times the largest prime is 78.  The difference between thirteen times the middle prime and seven times the largest prime is zero while the difference between twelve times the smallest prime and five times the middle prime is one.

C is half of the absolute difference between the 99th and 100th prime number.

D is the only three digit output of the below expression such that x, y and t are all prime numbers and y=x+1

I'll post a checker after the first person figures this one out!

Congrats to VegasScotty for FTF!!!
