Geocache Description:


We like pizza in our household. Though I do get cross when my mother calls it "pizza pie". We'd eat it twenty two - seven if we could. The other day I bought a round one from the supermarket that was a metre across. Can you beleive it? A whole metre. It did shrink by two centimetres when we cooked it, but these things happen.

When we came to eat it we used the latest design in pizza cutters; no matter what size of pizza you have, it sets itself to cut circles of exactly half the diameter of what it is cutting, and cannot be reset until *all* of the pizza is scoffed.

I cut a circular bit for TiaELF like in this picture.


I say *I* cut it. She cut it. Cutting food is cooking. I wouldn't know where to start. She then cut me a circular bit as well just like in this picture


I was still hungry, but because we couldn't re-set the cutter I had to have a sort-of circular bit.


So did TiaELF.


We gave the leftovers to the dogs. Treacle is greedy - she ate three times the amount that Fudge ate.

By now you are probably thinking that you could not care less about our family's culinary arrangements. You started reading this in the hopes of finding a geocache. To be honest I started writing this with the intention of hiding one, so we've something in common here...

Let the area of pizza that Fudge ate be ABC square centimetres (where ABC might or might not be one or more of the same numbers or zero). You will find a nano container stuck to something metal at:

N51 (A+C).(A+A) (C+A+C) (B)

E00 ((A*B*C)-(A+B)).(A-C)(A+C)(C)
