Geocache Description:

A polymath is a person whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas; such a person is known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems, such as this series of mystery caches. I hope you enjoy them all.


The cache co-ordinates provided are bogus, but within 200m.  .


Problem #5 is based around your knowledge of number systems.  Today we use a counting system based around the number 10.  What would things be like if we used a number system of base 16?

South 25° 3A.396
