Geocache Description:

***CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED CO-ORDINATES*** This cache is near an office park in RTP. It is a small container with room only for small trade items (e.g., nickel-sized coins). You must bring your own writing implement to sign the log. Please rehide exactly as found.

In international surveys, the U.S. is being ranked lower and lower in terms of the basic mathematical skills of its citizens. In the spirit of "Think globally, act locally", I have decided to do something about this by establishing a series of puzzle caches that require basic mathematical skills to find. This is the first.

To find the correct co-ordinates:

The last three digits of the latitude are written in hexadecimal.

The last three digits of the longitude are written in duodecimal.

Be prepared to hunt for a while when you get there.
