Geocache Description:


Gauteng West Rand Black Eagle GeoArt Series

Welcome to the West Rand, Gauteng! The West Rand Geocaching Community is very proud to present BLACK EAGLE GEOART, the only GeoArt to date in South Africa depicting the rare Black Eagle! Apart from its rich cultural history, the West Rand in Gauteng, South Africa is also home to an extremely active Geocaching community. The West Rand Geocachers are a social bunch and meet at least once every month to share stories, swap experiences and trackables and enjoy each others company.  We hope you enjoy exploring the beauty of the West Rand, Gauteng! PLEASE NOTE: THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED CO-ORDINATES. In order to find the cache you must solve the simple puzzle. As a Maths Teacher I have wanted to do a puzzle cache for a long time and this was the perfect opportunity. Prime Numbers (Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number) A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. 2 is the only even prime number, however not all odd numbers are prime numbers. The following are prime numbers starting at the lowest: 2; 3; 5; 7; 11; etc. In order to solve this puzzle use the above information on prime numbers to complete the following co-ordinates. S 26 00.ABC and E 027 36.DEF A = the fourth prime number in the list. B = add the second and third prime numbers together. C = First prime number. D = add the first and third prime numbers together. E = Subtract the second prime number in the list from the fifth prime number in the list, or fifth prime minus second prime. F = Multiply the first two prime numbers together.
