Geocache Description:


Spiromania #49

Double Helix

Key:

  • UMN Gophers 31, ___ Tigers 24
  • CMYK[1, 0, 0, 0]
  • RGB[0, 1, 0]
  • sin/cos

Without this colorful key, one could exhaustively test 192 feasible solutions. The key reduces that to eight, only one of which makes good sense.

As is common in this series, please enter your solution in the format VK abcde fghij (spaces optional) which is the MGRS short form for UTM: 15T E 4abcde N 49fghij of the location of the cache. If correct you will be given the lat/lon form as well as a hint on the hide.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


Congrats to the first ten solvers:
