Geocache Description:


I recently came across a number a few days ago and it struck me that it could be a key to a puzzle or a combination to a lock or both. It is a constant number when examined in a certain way the result will be this same number and if you examine other four digit numbers in the same way or similarly you eventually get back to the number I love.  Kind of reminds me of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon but not really and besides for this number it might be seven degrees.  Happy computing!!

Oh wait, you need some addtional information.  Now take each of the four digit numbers below, perform some type of calculation on it, possibly a NUMBER of times, and when you finally get the number I love, you will have the NUMBER needed for that digit of the coordinates. You can then move to the next four digit number and so on. (some answers will require you to add a number get the solution digit)

N 32 AB.CDE  W 097 FG.HIJ

N
3 = 1459       (Given, but can be used to practice)
2 = 6264       (Given, but can be used to practice)
A = 5554 
B = 4860 
C = 3852 
D = 7830 
E = 9516 

W 097
F = 4396 
G = 1256 (plus 4) 
H = 4569 (plus 1) 
I = 5823 
J = 0516 

Good luck in you exploration, calculations and hunting.  You should take a loved one on your journey. 

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
