Geocache Description:


A long time ago, an Autobot Hideout near the Trans Canada Trail was attacked by the evil Decepticons. One of the Autobots knew they were going to lose the fight and quickly hid an Energon Cube nearby.


He wrote on a scrap piece of paper instructions on how to find it, however the paper was only recently discovered and the Energon Cube remains unfound. It said:


This is a great battle indeed, but I fear we are lost... I'm not sure how we can win. There are more Decepticons than there are Autobots. With 158 Transformers fighting, it's hard to keep track of who's who in all the chaos. It looks like 1/11 of the Decepticons are able to transform into cars, with the remaining being able to turn into heavy construction vehicles or military vehicles such as tanks. Whereas 1/7 of the Autobots are ones that are able to transform into cars. Either way, we are lacking the firepower needed to win this fight...


I will reveal the location of the hidden Autobot Hideout to those that find this paper. It is mathematically encrypted so that Humans would not be able to figure it out.


Let X be equal to the number of Decepticons in the fight

Let Y be equal to the number of Autobots in the fight

Confirmation: The digital root of X is 7.

You can find the hidden Autobot Hideout here: N45° 13.(218+X)' W075° 58.(672+Y)


Now at the Autobot Hideout, determine the following:

A = The number of entrances the Autobot Hideout has, multiplied by 40

B = 37 if the Autobot Hideout currently has a roof, or 12 if it does not

C = 150 if the shape of the Autobot Hideout is circular/oval or 100 if the shape is square/rectangular

D = If you were standing in the Autobot Hideout, and were to exit the obvious main entrance, what direction would you be travelling in? 2 for North-East, 47 for South-East, 92 for South-West, 232 for North-West.


You can find the hidden Energon Cube at a bearing of D°, at a distance of A + B + C.
