Geocache Description:


This cache is at the listed coordinates. It is a challenge cache, which means that it has special qualifications beyond just finding the cache and signing the log that you have to meet in order to log a find.  Please refer to logging requirements for this challenge.

 

Fibonacci Caching Challenge

 

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711 etc.

The Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo of Pisa, AKA Fibonacci. He is credited with introducing the number sequence to Western European mathematics in 1202 in his book titled Liber Abaci or "The Book of Calculation". The Fibonacci sequence is fairly simple, each digit is the sum of the previous two digits. Fibonacci sequences appear in biological settings, such as branching in trees, arrangement of leaves on a stem, the flowering of artichoke, the seeds on a sunflower, the spirals of shells, the arrangement of a pine cone and much more. We hope you enjoy the challenge we created using this series of numbers.

In order to meet the requirements for the challenge, you'll need to look at your own counts of the different types of geocache finds that you have logged. Then make a list like the one shown, with each line showing a Fibonacci Number, a geocache type, and the number of finds you have of that type at the time of posting. You may not skip a Fibonacci Number in the sequence, and you continue listing as many types as you can so that your number of finds is at least as large as the Fibonacci Number in the sequence. The number of rows you are able to complete is the level you have achieved in the Fibonacci Challenge. A challenge checker is provided to assist in this process.

PGC Checker

To qualify for this challenge, you need to achieve at least. - Level 11.

You may sign the log when found as a "write note" if you do not yet qualify. 

GPS is quite bouncy in here - use the hint if required.
