Geocache Description:

Don't go looking for the cache at the posted coordinates, unless you want to take a dip in the lake. Solve the code to find the correct location.


For all you computer geeks out there, this should be pretty simple. For all you others you may have some trouble, but hopefully you can following the logic.

Below is a snippet of C# code and the results from that code. You need to follow the code and figure out how the results were generated. (At the time of running, the real cache coordinates were part of the code; they have been x'd out for the puzzle.) Once you understand how the results were generated, the exact coordinates of the cache should be easy to get. The coordinates that the code is working off of is the posted coordinates on this page.
