Geocache Description:

Coordinates are not at the given location. You will need to figure them out with this puzzle.

Yet another puzzle in the Logicache series.  This puzzle is similar to a crossword puzzle.  However, all of the answers are numbers...Prime Numbers.  All of the clues are in alphabetical order, so you also need to figure out where they belong in the puzzle.

Once you solve the puzzle, use the following to decipher the coordinates.

N  33 AG.Y(B-Y)O         W 112 L(R+L).L(R+P)P

Where: B = Blue, G = Green, L = Lavender (Purple), O = Orange, P = Pink, R = Red, Y = Yellow , A = Gray

The following clues will help you determine the 8 Prime Numbers that fit into the puzzle:

  • Find the number ##### corresponding to the date when humans first walked on the moon (in the format #/##/##).
  • Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke predicted that if a satellite was placed at this height (in kilometers) directly above the equator, it would orbit the globe at the same speed with which the Earth was rotating.
  • The largest 3-digit permutable prime whose digits are also prime.
  • The largest prime number mentioned in the Bible.
  • The smallest 5-digit star number.
  • The smallest assigned zip-code (that is not assigned to the IRS.)
  • The smallest prime number obtained by concatenating 3 consecutive primes.
  • This number has both of the lucky numbers in the game of Craps as its prime factors. (OK, so the answer is not a prime number, but both factors are!)
