Geocache Description:

The given coordinates to this problem are in a lake where I once swam a mile to find a cache.

For the best parking, add 0.383 to the North coordinates and 0.590 to the West coordinates that you figure for the cache coordinates.

To find the cache, solve each of the problems below for x. If you have trouble solving them, ask a 5th grade student for assistance.

North problems:

A ____ x = the perfect number with the lowest value

B ____ x = the number of square decimeters in a rectangle which has side one side measuring 80 mm in length and the other side measuring 100 cm in length.

C ____ x = total distance traveled: as you begin your hike to find a cache, you note that your GPS reads exactly 5 miles to the site. First you hike 4 miles directly west. At that point you turn to the north and hike to the cache. How far will you have hiked by the time you reach the cache?

D ____ x = the answer to problem D in the attached photograph.

E ____ x = the fifth positive integer in the Fibonacci sequence.

F ____ x = solution to: 54x – 37 = 113 + 4x

West problems:

J ____ x = the answer to problem J in the attached photograph.

K ____ x = the answer to problem K in the attached photograph.

L ____ x = the 13th prime number

M ____ x = solution to: (-x)(-17) = 51

You final coordinates are:

N 4A.BCDEF W 122.JKLM
