This is a puzzle cache.
The cache container is NOT at the posted coordinates.
You can park at the posted coordinates, and from there, you
can find the true cache location on foot, but only after solving
the puzzle below.
This is a SOLVE FROM ANYWHERE
puzzle.
THE
ACCESS
Turn down Jones Road
off of Homestead Rd., heading west out of Kenora. What looks like
the driveway to a Weyerhaeuser Factory is actually a road that runs
far beyond the factory. You can turn onto this road @ N 49.46.756 W
094.22.207. Keep left while on this road (but not through the gates
into the factory parking). It will turn to gravel, and cross a
y-shaped set of tracks. Continue along the road to the listed
parking coordinates: N 49.46.558 W 094.21.195
THE
LESSONS
Apply what you've
learned from doing the first two caches in the series. If you have
not done them.. ..well, you've got a big learning curve
ahead..
THE PUZZLE PROBLEM
There is a cache that rests
up a small pine, near the very top. Bill and Bob want to find out
how far up the tree the cache is, and also, how far they are from
the tree with the cache. They get out their clinometers for this
one! Bill and Bob stand 284.065cm apart from one another. Bill
looks at the cache with his clinometer and reads an angle for
47.885 degrees. Bob, who is 284.065cm further back from the tree,
reads and angle of 35 degrees to the cache. How far is Bill from
the Tree in centimeters? And how high up the tree is the cache, in
centimeters?
See the Diagram ( by no means
to scale!)
Let ‘n’ be the height of the
cache in the tree. Let ‘w’ be Bills distance from the
tree.
Where the true cache coordinates are N 49.46.n / W
094.20.w

REMEMBER TO GET YOUR DIPLOMA!
At each cache in the series, you will find very basic
knowledge questions on a neon yelllow card. Answer the
questions to obtain a set of coordinates. Solve all three
puzzles and find all three caches, and you will have collected the
coordiantes to the final cache, where you can pick up YOUR
‘Master Mathematician’ DIPLOMA! The Diploma Site
is: N1.N2.N3 / W1.W2.W3
GOOD LUCK!
