Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. If you plan to do all the caches of this series on the same outing, note that you might want to collect a couple of cold, hard facts before setting out!

This is the final stage of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" series. To locate this cache, you will need to first find Stages 1 and 2 (stage 3 has now been archived) and get the necessary clues and facts, then perform the following computations to locate the actual coordinates.

A = the number of sides of the Stage 1 clue.
B = the number of corners in the Stage 2 clue.
C = the old Stage 3 clue which is 9.

DE = A x B

F = A + B

GH = DE + I
I = Atomic number of diamond

Substitute the letters above into:

N 43 DE.AFB
W 80 GH.IC2

Finally, add the atomic weight of diamond (rounded to 3 decimal places) to each of the N and W coordinates to get the final location.
