Mary Mary Multi-Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a simple but quite long cache. It will take a few hours to complete.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle-shells,
And pretty maids all in a row. |
There won't be any Silver Bells, or Cockle-shells, but you will find plenty of women called Mary.
This is a simple but quite long cache. It will take 2-3 hours to complete.
There are 10 waypoints to goto and at each point you need to do some maths, so don't forget your calculator.
You will walk just less than 3km from the front gate to the final stash, so bring your hiking shoes and a bottle of water. (You can either walk, drive or ride your bike to do this one.)
The front gate is less than 250m from Sutherland station, so it is easily accessable from public transport.
All WPs of the form:
S 34º 0A.BCD
E 151º 0E.FGH
At WP1
you will find a sign with 2 numbers on it...
A.BCD = 1.670 + (Number_1 / 1000)
E.FGH = 2.396 + (Number_2 / 1000)
|
At each of the following points you will need to find Mary and collect four 2 digit numbers in the following form
AA = Age
YY = year
MM = Month
DD = Day
All numbers must be rounded to three decimal places after calculations are performed
At WP2
A.BCD = (YY / AA) + 0.705
E.FGH = 0.1311 * DD
|
At WP3
A.BCD = 20.108 / MM
E.FGH = 278.608 / AA
|
At WP4
A.BCD = 0.3168 * MM
E.FGH = (DD / MM) - 1.65
|
At WP5
A.BCD = (YY / 10) - [(AA / 1000) + 0.008]
E.FGH = (AA / YY) + 0.019
|
At WP6
A.BCD = 0.6963 * MM
E.FGH = MM - 0.056
|
At WP7
A.BCD = 19.99 / MM
E.FGH = 0.024 * (AA + YY + DD) + (MM / 1000)
|
At WP8
A.BCD = (YY / 100) + (0.05 * DD)
E.FGH = (DD / 10) + (AA - YY) / 7000 + 6 / MM
|
At WP9
A.BCD = (YY + DD - 6)/100 + MM / 1000 + DD / 10
E.FGH = (0.4 * MM) - (YY - 6)/100
