Geocache Description:


This a puzzle geocache. The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates; you have to solve a mathematical puzzle to determine the physical location of the geocache.

To solve for the coordinates, you need to find a ten-digit number that uses all of the digits from 0-9 once that also meets each of the following criteria:

  • The seventh digit is a triangular number.
  • The fourth digit has opposite parity to the ninth digit.
  • The sum of the seventh and tenth digits is equal to the product of the second and third digits.
  • The product of the first and third digits is equal to the square of the sixth digit.
  • The fifth digit is a square number.
  • The fourth digit has three letters in its name.
  • The eighth digit is a perfect number.
  • Of the first and third digits, one is a prime number and the other is a cube number.

Once you have solved for the answer, assign A as equal to the first digit, B as equal to the second digit, C as equal to the third digit and so on.

The coordinates of the cache are as follows:

N 55° 4B.C(D+F)A W 004° 1(E-D).(IxJ)GH

Please note: At the final location, you do NOT need to cross the fence to access the cache.

Numbers Game #2 is the second in a series of Numbers Game caches: GC6F9QN Numbers Game #1.
