To Solve this mystery cache, you need to work out the length of a piece of string/tape
The string/tape is wrapped around a cylinder and you can assume that in the starting position the tape or string is fully wound up and cannot be wound up any further, and that in the end position the string/tape is fully wound out with no remaining string/tape on the cylinder.
The dimensions of the cyinder are :
D= 0.2731927
and the thickness of the tape/string
t= 0.0252468
As this cache is for Pi Day ( 3.14) - lets find out how far the string/tape would have descended after 14 turns
For the Latitude: how far will the string have descended assuming that the string never wraps on itself, so does not affect the diameter of the initial cylinder = La
For the Longitude: how far will the tape have descended assuming that the tape does wrap on itself, so does affect the diameter of the initial cylinder = Lo
The cache can be found at :
N31° La, E 121°Lo
