Geocache Description:


Tribbles are perhaps the most iconic of the animals seen in the Star Trek canon. They first appeared in the Star Trek episode  The Trouble With Tribbles. They appeared a second time in Star Trek: The Animated Series. They continued to appear multiple times in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Klingons consider them to be a menace and have attempted to wipe the species out entirely. In the Deep Space Nine episode Trials and Tribble-ations, Odo is heard to remark dryly, “Another glorious chapter in Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the Great Tribble Hunt?”

Tribbles reproduce at an incredible rate. Dr. McCoy tells Kirk that, “The nearest thing I can figure out is they’re born pregnant, which seems to be quite a time saver.” Let us assume that a single tribble will have a litter of ten babies every 12 hours. Let us also assume that all the tribbles survive and continue to reproduce.

 

For the North coordinates figure out how many tribbles you will have in 60 hours. Add 4,297,117 to that number to solve for N XX XX.XXX

For the West coordinates figure out how many tribbles you will have in 84 hours. Subtract 10,285,361 from that number to solve for W YY YY.YYY
