The cache is NOT located at the posted coords, but it can be found once you have solved and interpreted correctly the puzzle problems below and filled in the corresponding digits in the final's coordinates.
Final: N 46 4A.BCD W 117 1E.FGH
(The cache is not on any utility equipment.)
To solve this mystery you will need to dust off your division skills as you delve into the wonderfully mysterious world of the rational and the irrational. Below you will find 7 division problems (and pi) that, when completed, should provide you with information that will help you determine the coords for the final GZ. The division problems are of varying degrees of difficulty. Excel may not be able to help you with all of them. (Note: The answers to these division problems, when viewed in your passenger, side-view mirror, may seem larger than they actually are :-)
A 27/37 =
B 1001/2439 =
C pi =
D 868/1111 =
==========
E 4/33 =
F 103/303 =
G 137,169/1,111,111 =
H 15/41 =
In lieu of a geochecker, we are providing a mathematical method for verifying the missing digits of the final GZ:
(EFGH+5)/(ABCD-4) = (an answer with a six-digit repetend)
(The letters in this formula, "EFGH" and "ABCD", represent the digits in each number: thousand's place, hundred's place, ten's place, and one's place, respectively for each group of four letters, and are not to be multiplied together. Hopefully there aren’t too many possible combinations that will make this statement true.)
