Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Solve the puzzles A-F below to determine the cache location. If your 15-digit checksum isn't 41, you might want to 86 your solution!

Although the size of cubes can be specified with a single parameter (e.g., length of an edge, volume, area of a face), cylinders need two parameters, most commonly their radius and height, to be uniquely defined. In each of six puzzles, three cylinders are defined. Solve this series of puzzles to identify the coordinates of the geocache (assume all the units are millimeters).

A. r=15.30, h=15.05; r=8.95, h=4.05; r=9.52, h=4.56
B. r=12.13, h=1.75; r=10.60, h=1.95; r=9.52, h=1.52
C. r=12.13, h=3.50; r=10.60, h=3.90; r=9.52, h=3.04
D. r=15.30, h=4.30; r=8.95, h=2.70; r=9.52, h=1.52
E. r=12.13, h=1.75; r=8.95, h=1.35; r=10.60, h=1.95
F. r=15.30, h=21.50; r=8.95, h=1.35; r=9.52, h=1.52


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
