Finding Zero Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

cachbefound: It looks like high density residential housing is being developed right at where the cache is hidden. Although that cache is technically accessible, due to the construction I don't feel cachers should be in the area. As such I've decided to archive this one. Thanks to all who solved and visited.

Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Sometime long long ago, Zero decided he wanted to play a game of hide and seek. He convinced 99 of his closest friends, One through Ninety Nine, to hide along with him. Zero decided that rather than hiding in a straight line, they would hide in a 10 by 10 table. The problem was that everyone was afraid of getting lost. But then Two came up with the following idea. Zero would hide next to Ninety Nine and One, One would hide next to Zero and Two, Two would hide next to One and Three, on so on. Because it was Zero who had come up with the idea to play hide and seek, he was first to find a spot to hide before everyone else. Naturally, once Zero had picked his hiding spot everyone else knew where to hide. After they were all hidden in the table, Two thought to herself that they were still in a straight line, but it had been folded to fit in the table. And as they were hiding in the table, thirty-six and thirty-seven decided that they were brave enough to hide next to single friend, they hid in different corners with their eyes closed.

They've been hiding for thousands of years, just waiting to be found. Do you know where Zero is?
