Advanced Triangulation 4 Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache Effect: With the first three stages of this series archived there is no way for those that seek the cache to come up with the required information. A multi cache is designed for those that seek the cache to visit additional locations to gather the required information for the next stage - this cache no longer has additional location and some of the information to find it is no longer available. For this reason I feel that this cache needs to be archived.
Thanks for your understanding!

Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the above coordinates. You must solve parts 1->3 of this cache to find this one.

Coordinates are for the top of the Calgary tower.

Since this cache was placed, parts 1 and 2 of the series have been archived, so I'll give you the hints from them (but you'll have to find the original coordinates of them yourself).
AT1: 10000
AT2: 23611.19682

The numbers given are pseudo-distances. That is to say that they are related to real distances through a scale factor. (1m = nn.nnnnn units). I had some difficulty solving this system algebraically, but there is a unique solution. You may have to make some approximations to get a meaningful solution (remember coordinates only need to be accurate to a couple of meters).The easiest way to solve this, is probably using successive approximations for the scale factor.
