Geocache Description:


Alas, yet another of those infernal equation caches.  Like the previous versions, this one involves finding the mystery words that begin with the capital letters in the following 8 equations.  The solutions fall into the following 7 categories: entertainment, geography, literature, math, music, science and sports.

~4 = D of L of the T of P

7 = W S in J A

7 = L G S in the B S

9 = C of H in D I

10 = M R of S

17 = S of the F F P N

26 = A A to W D

21,324 = N M in C

(as an example, in the equation 7 = D of the W, the mystery words are “DAYS” and “WEEK”)

To find the cache, determine the total 3-digit alpha-numeric equivalent (A=1, B=2, C=3 etc.) of the mystery words in each of the 8 equations.  String these 8 3-digit numbers together, and number each digit from #1 to #24.

The unit and decimal minutes of the cache’s North coordinates are #3, #4, #14 and #8.    

The unit and decimal minutes of the cache’s West coordinates are #22, #10, #14 and (#20-#22).

The difficulty rating of this cache is for both the quirky puzzle and the quirky hide.  Enjoy.
