To find this cache, you'll need to use some 'old' logs from some of my archived caches. They're all dated January 1, 2000, but of course I didn't really post them then; that would have required either amazing foresight or a time machine, and I don't have either one. So I posted them more recently and changed the dates. Your job is to figure out when I actually posted them and use that information to find the coordinates of this cache.
First, figure out when I posted this log for Fault tolerant multi-cache. Ignore the month and the year, and let X be the day of the month when I posted it.
Then do the same for this log for Dinner for Two - a puzzle cache; let Y be the day of the month when I posted it.
Finally, let Z be the day of the month when I posted this log for Cubes - a puzzle cache.
The coordinates of the cache are N 41° 0A.BC8 W 124° 0D.EF8, where
A is the ones digit of the product X times Y;
B is the tens digit of the product X times Y;
C is the ones digit of the product Y times Z;
D is the tens digit of the product X times Z;
E is the ones digit of the product X times Z;
F is the ones digit of the sum X plus Z.
For example, if the first log had been posted on March 12, 2009 and the second on August 7, 2010, then X would be 12 and Y would be 7. X times Y would be 84, so A would be 4 and B would be 8. Etc.
As of 1/19/2020, the cache is a preform tube. It can be reached from just one step off the trail; there is no need to bushwhack.
Please don't bother the fine folks at Groundspeak by asking them for the log dates; they have enough to do already.
If you think you've figured out the coordinates, you can check them with certitude:
You can also see who else has solved the puzzle. Note: You can remain anonymous if you want to; incorrect guesses are always anonymous. (Puzzle makers, you can create your own certitude links here.)
If certitude doesn't work for you, try Geochecker.com. The trailhead is at N 41° 0A.GD1 W 124° 0D.EB9, where G is the tens digit of X plus Y.
