Tamar Teaser BONUS - Little Z Mystery Cache
Finn and Rosie: Unfortunately due to time ... we are unable to check this cache is still active for a while - so have decided to archive it - apologies to those who have worked out the details for Little Z (but we will probably create another cache using Z in the future - so hang on to the details!). We will amend the remainder of the series, to be stand alone caches.
Tamar Teaser BONUS - Little Z
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is the bonus cache in the Tamar Teaser series. The above co-ordinates are for the suggested parking and the cache can be found within 2 miles of these. You will need to work out the co-ordinates in advance and then it’s just a gentle walk to the exact location of the cache.
The cache has been placed with permission from The Tavistock Woodlands Estate, and although they welcome recreational users, please be aware that it is a working Forest. As far as possible, please try and stick to the tracks and footpaths to minimise your impact on the area. Be aware, at the time of listing this Cache (June), there were a lot of ticks around, so if you're wearing shorts - beware!
In order to successfully work out the location of the Tamar Teaser Bonus Cache, you need to work out the correct value of ‘Z’.
Information
· Z is a six digit number.
· In order to work out the value of Z, you will need additional information about the value of various letters. These can be found by visiting the 4 caches in the Tamar Teaser Series, which will give the value of 4 key letters in each one.
· The Bonus Cache Coordinates are:
N = 4467032 + Z
N ___ ___ º ___ ___ . ___ ___ ___
W = Z - 151695
W 0 0 ___ º ___ ___ . ___ ___ ___
The check sum of all the individual digits in the coordinates is 53.
If you want us to check that your co-ordinates for the cache are correct before setting out, please email us with your answer, we tend to check the mail most evenings.
The cache is a 1.1 litre clip-lock container that has been hidden inside a camouflaged bag. On setting the cache, it contained a logbook and pencil, a few items to swap and a Certificate and £1 for the FTF.
THE FORMULA FOR CALCULATING ‘Z’ ........
S = R (K – D) + E² – (N + H)
S = A (K – D) + Q² (NP – 2F) – D
S = G (KB + J) + 2NB + J – N – G
T = C (L + Q – J) + PKM + L + 3Q + F
T = L (QJ + KG + L) + Q (PG + DN) + J + G
T = RMK + K³ + Q + D - N
U = A (E + L) + C (GF + 2H – MB) +P³ + B – 2H
U = RJ (Q – H) + LQ (J + H) + 3C + 2H – 4Q
U = 2C (R – A) + B (J² – P² – B) + J – 5P
V = 8K (A + B + R) + E (EB + DH²) + E + H – 3M
V = 4A (J + M + H) – A + C + 2J – N - H
V = A (L – K) – GMF – DPM – 2N
W = SB + 503322
W = PT - 951050
X = U + K - 39915
X = 2V – J (J² –Q²) + J + Q
Y = VH - 40063
Y = U – J³ + (J + B)² + B²
Z = X + EF
Z = Y + C
Z = W + GM
