Geocache Description:

Sometimes you just have to trust your eyes, even when they decieve you.


This cache was placed for the first Puzzle Popping Potluck Party event cache.

There is no cache at listed coordinates.

Please count the black dots in the picture below.

  1. Let A be the three-digit number of black dots.
  2. Rearrange the three digits of A to make the largest possible three-digit number, and call it B.
  3. Rearrange the three digits of A to make the smallest possible three-digit number, and call it C.
  4. Subtract C from B, and call the result D.
  5. If D is not equal to A, set A equal to D and repeat the above calculations (meaning go to step 2).
  6. If D is equal to A, stop the calculation, set P equal to D, and calculate the final coordinates using the formula below.

S 43 31.(P * 0.476768)
E 172 34.(P * 1.094950)
