Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are NOT correct. They will take you the "Requiem" an artwork by Erwin Bender located in the same park as the cache. To find this cache you will need to learn some electronics and do a little math. I suggest that you use a caclculator.

This cache requires the use of Ohm's Law.
Ohm's Law deals with the interrelationship of Voltage (E), Current (I) and Resistance (R.
There are three Ohm's Law formulas.
E = I x R I = E / R R = E / I

1. In order to get the last part of the North coordinate you will need to find the numeric value for R.
Given E = 27.117 volts and I = 3 amps
Use the formula R = E/I
Your North coordinate is N 34 0 + R.

2. In order to get the last part of the West coordinate you will need to find the numeric value for E.
Given I = 2 amps and R = 9.8765 ohms
Use the formula E = I x R
Your West coordinate is W 118 + E

Your final destination is at N 34 0 + R W 118 + E

Happy geocaching!
