Conway's Game Of Life
This is a puzzle cache. The physical cache is not located at the posted coordinates. Rather it is at VKabcdefghij which is an abbreviation for:
John Horton Conway was born in Liverpool, England in 1937. He received his PHD from Cambridge, continued as professor there until 1986 when he assumed the John Von Neumann Chair of Mathematics at Princeton where he was until his death on April 11, 2020 from COVID-19. He published extensively in many fields including geometry, number theory, coding theory, combinatorial game theory, geometric topology, knot theory and quantum mechanics. In recreational mathematics he is widely known for the popular cell automaton "The Game of Life" which he introduced in 1970. Since then this so-called game has been the source of numerous examples, theorems, conjectures, generalizations, simulations (such as bitstorm), and, of course, geocaches. Although Conway's life may have ended, his Game of Life will know no end.
