A Kirchhoff the Old Block Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Misguided: It is with much regret that I must archive this cache. If you have not been following the discussion in the geocaching.com forums please check out my post here: http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?s=&showtopic=177879&view=findpost&p=3269983

We were not able to come to an agreement that would allow the existing caches in Discovery Park to be reactivated. We left with a small glimmer of hope that some day, in the future this may change. One way to help us to show the park that we are serious about working with them will be to respect their wishes with regards to this particular park.

Please pick up your container as soon as possible and let me know if I can be of assistance in relocating it off park property.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Team Misguided

Geocache Description:

The coordinates listed above are not correct, and will therefore not be useful to you unless you are Snidely Whiplash, and need a handy place to tie little Nell to the tracks.


This guy would have no trouble solving this puzzle. Alas, he's dead.

To find this cache, you'll need to carefully ponder the circuit diagram shown below.

The voltage source (V) is applying 170.0867167 volts across an array of resistors. R1 = R5 = 1 ohm, R3 = 10 ohms, and R2 = R4 = 3.04633735 ohms.

Once you have solved for the voltages at points A and B, chances are good that you will know exactly what to do with them in your quest for this cache.

Reaching the cache site requires a moderate city hike with some ups and downs followed by just a skootch of mild Seattle bushwhacking.
