Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted location.  That my friends is a virtual proxy.  Solve this simple puzzle to get the coordinates for GZ.  

Have you ever noticed that dumb ideas are often adopted very quickly?  The eating of Tide Pods or the licking of public bathroom toilet seats are two examples that come to mind.  Ugh!  

While brilliant ideas sometimes take decades or centuries for the world at large to grasp their significance and begin to implement them. The two men captured in the image below are credited for developing the general fast Fourier Transform algorithm.  Fast Fourier Tranforms or FFT's are an essential mathematical application for many things we take for granted today.  Digital signal processing and signal analysis are two among legions more.
