Geocache Description:




Series of brain farts from the upper drawer of my work desk. No one wants these, no one asks for these, these ideas should have been forgotten long time ago, yet here we are. Another one published once again. Does this nightmare ever end?



PART VII: Silicon



Silicon in a chemical element; symbol Si, atomic number 14. In the periodic table silicon belongs to period three and group fourteen (carbon group). It is a metalloid with a marked metallic luster and it is very brittle.

Measured by mass, silicon makes up 27,7% of the Earth's crust. It is usually found in the form of complex silicate minerals.

Applications for silicon uses are endless. For example, semiconductor devices, electronics, ceramics, industrial materials, alloys, lasers, silicones.

With this in mind, a good starting point for solving cache location, would be for example X:2127141 and Y:3901885. What is the equation? Is it even needed? What is the constant? It is definitely needed.
