School Days Puzzles #3: A, B, C, D. Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

=Andy_R: The caches have been collected and this series is no more. My thanks to all the previous finders. If you'd like to know the solution to any of the puzzles, feel free to contact me.

Despite previous logs to the contrary this cache was still in situ ready to be found, however recent reports of problems with the land owner told me it was time to kill this one off.

Geocache Description:

Cache not at the published coordinates but they might be a good place to start your search. This is the third cache in my School Days Puzzles series, where each puzzle is based (very loosely) on a different school subject. All of the puzzles can be picked up on a circular walk starting and ending in Downside. There are several traditional caches, a few other puzzles, and a couple of church micros en-route as well. I've included the location of a pub that may come in handy afterwards.

Cache can be found at:

      N 51 1[y-5].[y+d-2x][x-6][2y-2t]
      W 000 2[t-6].[3d-2x][t-x][y-t]

Where:

      d=round[D,10]/10
      t=round[TT,10]/10
      x=round[X,10]/10
      y=round[Y,10]/10

and round[number,10] means rounding the number to the nearest multiple of 10.

Please note: a replacement cache has been placed approximately 3m NW of the solution to this puzzle. Updated coordinates are given in Geocheck.

There are micro certificates for the first 9 finders.
