Geocache Description:


Please see number 1 in the series (Are you a square?) for a full description of the walk, there is street parking available in the village of Weald.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

There is street parking available in the village of Weald. This is a relatively simple puzzle, the information below will help you to solve it and might assist with a slightly harder one placed close by.

For this puzzle the diagram includes both rectangles and squares as a single layer.

The first example has a single square with a half size rectangle on each side. There are two small rectangles (1 unit), one square (2 units), two mid-size rectangles (3 units) and one large rectangle (4 units). A total of 6 rectangles

The second example has an additional square added. Now there are two small rectangles (1 unit), two  squares (2 units), two mid-size rectangles (3 units), one rectangles of 4 units, two rectangle of 5 units and one rectangle of 6 units. A total of 10 rectangles.

So to the puzzle.

If the number of rectangles in the diagram is ab the cache is located at

N51 12.(a+a+a+b)(a+a)(b) E000 09.(a+b)(b-b)(b)
