Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the coordinates above.

 


Consider each of the following digits which fit in a grid with row dimension 5 and column dimension 3.
Suppose you start with a grid with row dimension 7 and column dimension 5 (like the pictures below).
For i = 0, ..., 9 determine the number of ways N(i) to obtain each of these digits.



  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  


Let D(N(i),j) be the digit of N(i) at position j, with j = 1, ..., #digits of N(i)


The cache can be found at :

 

N52 D(N(2),1) D(N(4),3) . D(N(9),2) D(N(3),2) D(N(1),3)

 

E004 D(N(8),2) D(N(0),2) . D(N(3),2) D(N(5),2) D(N(7),2)
