Geocache Description:

N32 43.186 W117 05.898 = KGTV Parking Lot (Wrong side of the freeway)

 

THE POSTED COORDINATES ARE NOT THAT OF THE CACHE

But, Is a good place to reference, as the cache is nearby


One of many TNLNSL caches to be placed in cache poor South East San Diego, CA.

The cache is so named because of two reasons:
  •  

  • There is a lot of trash near the cache site.

  • With a name like SlideRule, you know sooner or later there would be a problem of a scientific, mathematical nature.

So here is the problem:
When I got the coordinates of the cache position, I converted them into RADIANS.

Then I Added them and Multiplied them.

What I got was:

WEST + NORTH = 2.614842686027

WEST * NORTH = 1.167099119533

  •  

  •     The Checksum for the North = 18 and for the West = 23
