Geocache Description:


Geocaching demands nothing less than the fervent and unconditional dedication of our entire lives.


Cache not at listed coordinates.

This puzzle is not like anything you may have seen before, but it should be very easy to solve since I am giving you the exact method to find the final coords.  All you have to do is find the input that gives you the correct MD5 Hash out.  What is an MD5 Hash?  Think of it as a really large checksum for a given string of characters.  I'll give you an example:

If the input string is:

3658.92917451.179

Then the MD5 Hash is:

041ad533345136c6a86e373e1a98596a

You can check this at your favorite MD5 Hash generator site such as:

https://www.md5hashgenerator.com/

 

Now all you need to do is find the correct string that produces this hash:

adc145b5975858ee7ffaa16f0a5ba797

I'll even help you out some more. Only these sixteen characters are in the string:

*+,-./0123456789

Although each may be used more than once.

The final is at S36 59.ABC E174 51.DEF. Once you find the right string, you will be able to get ABCDEF.

Note that spaces are important, but there are no spaces in the string you seek.

Also note that some MD5 Hash generators give capital letters, A, B, C, D, E, and F in the output, but these are the same as lower case.
