Geocache Description:

*** Cache is not at the posted coordinates ***


This puzzle requires just a little algebra to solve. But before we get into the puzzle, here is some algebra to think about. Extra bonus if you know what is wrong with the math (do not include answer in logs).


Puzzle:

x = ∑ a (where a goes from 0 to 4)

y = ∏ b (where b goes from 0 to 4)

Divide 6 by one half and let it equal z

Solve for both values of x for the Quadratic equation x2 - 851 x + 178888 (let the smaller number be used for North (xNorth) and the larger number be West (xWest)

nnn = xNorth + y

www = xWest + (x * z)
