Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
You are looking for a grey rectangular solid measuring 13.5cmx9.8cmx5.9cm.  Bring your Vernier calipers to verify these measurements.  It has a mass of 1845.1grams.  You could bring your beam balance to check this.  
Calculate it's specific gravity, accurate to 8 significant digits.   Did we pay attention in grade 9 science class?
You score no extra points if you use a calculator, one extra point if you do it with pencil and paper, two extra points if you use a slide rule (what is a slide rule?) and three extra points if you do it in your head.  Will this object float in water?  Will it float in liquid mercury?  Bring a pail of mercury to test this.  
Call these 8 digits A,B,C,D,E,F,Gand H.   
The actual location (final stage) is N45 D,E.H,D,C     W077 zero,F.B,A,A
Please be stealthy as this can be a busy area.
