Geocache Description:


The geocache is not at the coordinates listed above. The listed coordinates are the latitude and longitude of the circuit lab at NMSU-A. While you won't find the geocache there, you may get some help with this puzzle if you ask nicely.
The geocache can be found at:

N 32 54.???
W 105 55.???

But you'll need to do a little circuit analysis to find the rest of the coordinates.
To find the rest of the latitude, find the total resistance of Circuit 1(rounded to the nearest Ohm).
To find the rest of the longitude, find the voltage between points A and B in Circuit 2 (rounded to the nearest mV).
