Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but is within three miles.

No advanced degree in physics required. Here's a puzzle for the rest of us, even with a diploma from a place like the institution at the posted coordinates. Only 2 dimensions to consider, and no need to correct for anything.

48 -- 55 -- 73
X -- 91 -- 109
85 -- Z -- 157
104 -- 153 -- Y
161 -- 240 -- 289
W -- 456 -- 505

The cache can be found at N 37° A.B W 122° C.D where:
A = X - 31
B = Y - 6
C = (Z - 6) / 9
D = W

No check sum since the actual cache location is in theme with the puzzle on a couple of levels. You'll know you're right when you see it.

If necessary, hints happily supplied.
