Geocache Description:


***This geocache is one of a series of puzzle caches being created all over Greece called 'Olympian Gods'.***

According to greek mythology Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty , pleasure and love. Her birth is the result of the Uranus genitals being cut off and thrown into the see. She arose from the sea foam (aphros in greek) .

There are two major islands who claim being the birthplace of Aphrodite. Cyprus and Cythera. So since I had to place this cache inside greek territory ..I chose Cythera.

Although Aphrodite was a goddess of love and beauty , rivalry over her among other gods and humans has lead to many wars .She was married to the disformed god Hephaestus but that didnt stop her of having many lovers and berthing several children from them.

The cache is a very small container with a logbook a geocaching declaration and a pen.

You dont need to go to the starting point to look for the cache. Just solve the following math problem and once you find the right coords go get it .

 

Find the numbers who follow in the series below:

1, 4, 12, 40, 112, x, y  

 

The final cache coordinates are 

N 36 15.(y+31)
E 023 04.(x+115)
