Geocache Description:


This cache will be released at the beginning of the nearby Pi Day Event (GCA3WEE).  To allow event attendees time to solve the puzzle, enjoy the event and avoid a mad rush, anyone who logs the cache on 3/14/23 can claim a FTF.  (We attended an event in California that was set up like this and it seems to be a nice idea).  Here's a math puzzle to derive the coordinates.  We've seen variations of this puzzle in magazines and felt it would be appropriate for Pi day.

                 R  A  P

        +  R  A  C   E   

    =  P   I   P  E  R

Each digit in the addition operation above has been replaced with the same letter everywhere it appears.  After you solve for the numbers, here are the final coordinates:   
 

       N41° 44. (C-P) R A   W71° 25. E A C
