Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates, but it is within 1.618 miles. Please recertitude to get new hide hint if you solved this a few years ago.

There are some who feel that this puzzle is based on a concept that is irrational. These people have the correct idea. The following numbers will give you the coordinates to the final location. Note that despite appearance, they are not binary numbers.

There is some math required, but nothing very complicated - addition, multiplication, and division should do it. I would recommend using a spreadsheet - either Google Sheets or Excel. If you correctly identify the theme, there is at least one online tool available to do the heavy lifting.



Solve, and certitudify.
