The Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You will have to solve the puzzle to get the coordinates
Have you ever noticed how important the not or negative can be? It seems like you see it everywhere; numbers sentences, etc. There is even the common joke where you say something you do not mean and then at the end say "NOT". Even Congress has gotten extremely good at saying NOT to most everything either party says.
For this puzzle you will need to use some basic Boolean circuit logic which includes many NOTs to get you going. In circuits, the dot on a device is a not. A flat back of the device makes the device an AND while a curved back makes it an OR device. The inputs are ABCDEFG along with N(which is also NOT W) in that order and you will need to only turn on one at a time to find their value. Your mission to start is to find ABCDEFG for N and for W. You can find what each letter stands for by setting that input to a true (also called a 1 or on) and all others false (also called a 0 or off). N is special and will need to be true or false to get the two ABCDEFGs.Checksum 59
For some this will be easy but I am sure the overall puzzle will also be easy, NOT. For this cache I will assume you know what the N and W degrees are (but you will still need to enter them into certitude).
Congratulations to Mom-n-Andy for the FTS.
Congratulations to Mom-n-Andy, Sase Mc-T, and BrotherTim for the co-FTF.
Notes about this cache: I decided to simplify it so that people not used to circuits can just use the boolean logic located at the outputs. I think this will still a be very difficult puzzle, but then again puzzle cachers continuously amaze me with how fast they put things together. Thanks again to teamajk for looking over.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
