To find this multi-cache, you’ll need to begin by finding some useless information and doing some simple calculations. The first part can be done at home.
A = Atomic weight of neon (to 4 decimal places), times 10
B = Number of points scored by the Ohio State University football team against Wisconsin on October 20, 1979
C = Number of electoral votes cast for Robert M. La Follette in the 1924 Presidential election
D = Gaylord Perry's lifetime Major League batting average (to the standard 3 decimal places)
E = Birth year of Maria d’Este, Duchess of Parma, daughter of Francesco I d’Este of Modena and Maria Caterina Farnese of Parma
F = Value of the Golomb–Dickman Constant, to 3 decimal places
G = 4.323
H = 194.682
Calculate M & N:
M = A + B + C – G
N = (D * E) – F – H
Both M & N should result in 3 decimal places.
Checksum for M = 32
Checksum for N = 15
At the posted coordinates, find two additional pieces of information:
W = section of Ohio Revised Code
X = Hamilton City Ordinance
Calculate Y & Z:
Y = (W / 10) – M
Z = (X / 10) – N
