Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Today is March 14th, also know as Pi Day.

Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three digits of π. It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, an employee of the Exploratorium. In 2009 the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day and in 2019 Pi Day was designated as the International Day of Mathematics by UNESCO.

It is this International Day of Mathematics that this puzzle celebrates. Many of my puzzles have been based on mathematics and this one is no different.
