Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates, and it's not accessible from the highway.

Here's a math or combinatorics puzzle, but it mostly involves counting ... that, and a made-up word. A juxoj is a natural number that has the digits 3 and 8 in it. (It could have more than one of either ... or both.) The 3rd juxoj is 138.

A. What is the smallest one? (Hint: think degrees latitude)
B. What is the smallest one that when divided by 2 results in a juxoj?
C. What is the 10th one?
D. What is the 38th one?
E. (optional) What is the 100th one?

The cache is at N 38° 3N.NNN W 121° 3W.WWW.
N.NNN = (A + B + D + 8)/1000     OR     N.NNN = (E + E + D + 36)/1000
W.WWW = ((6 x C) - 62)/1000


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Have fun!

Congrats to Dobbinsfam for the FTF!
