Except for an awkward hyphen, this representation for a date and time in February, 2022 is a lovely numerical palindrome - all "2"s and "0"s. We had to set a cache to celebrate it . . . and so we did. It’s not difficult but we had to make it a puzzle - right? So . . . here it is!
- Multiply together all the digits . . . except the zeros - that would make it too easy! Record that number. A = ______.
- Calculate the digital root of A. B = ______.
- Calculate the sum of all the digits. C = ______.
- Calculate the digital root of C. D = ______.
- Calculate the product of B, C and D. E = ______.
- Calculate A + E. F = ______.
- Calculate E - A. G = ______.
- Multiply F by 0.001. H = ______.
- Multiply G by 0.003. J = ______.
- Add H to the minutes of the given north co-ordinate giving a final of N 44° ___________’.
- Add J to the minutes of the given west co-ordinate giving a final of W 078° ___________’.
- Go get it!
Notes
- Just in case - the cache is not at the given co-ordinates;
- Please bring your own pen or pencil;
- The container is tethered and there is no need to remove it;
- The co-ordinates were averaged for over 500 trials;
- Sorry - there is no room for swag;
- Please be stealthy because the place can be very busy at times;
- Please feel free to use the “solution checker” below.
