Geocache Description:


This is another Q2SM (Quick 2-Step Multi), but how quick it is depends on how nimble you are with simple math.

Have you ever gotten annoyed  by the math needed to solve for the final coordinates of a multi being more complicated than it needed to be? Well, I have! Consider this to be payback.

At the posted coordinates, you will find a large pole. On that pole is an approximately 2 inch by 1 inch oval tag containing a two digit number. Consider that number to be AB. Then...

CD = (A x B) + A EF = (B + C) x (A + D)
GH = (C + E) x B JK = EF + (D x G)
LMN = (((AF x B) + (BD x D)) x D) + E PQR = (CH x G) - (E + J)

 

The final cache can then be found at N45° 06.LMN W093° 23.PQR


You can validate your math wizardry with certitude.
