Geocache Description:


Happy π Day 2019! I know we’ve all seen plenty of puzzles—both mathematical and culinary—for this day, but I’m throwing in another one. This one’s a bit of a different subject matter from many other π day puzzles, but it’s a connection that my brain insists on making every time I see the word. The puzzle might be a little unusual, but I’m sure the most pious π devotees will have no trouble. If, after strictly investigating all things, you still need help, feel free to message me and I will be happy to set you on the right side.


Have at it!

 

Fauré - 5
Berlioz +1
Mozart + 260
Dvořák - 12
Bruckner -1
Bomtempo
Camacho + 2

 

The cache is currently stocked with various vaguely π-related things; given how long it took me to find some things to start out with I doubt any trades will stay in that theme, but if you happen to stay in-theme with an amuzingly novel connection, I’d love to hear about it in the logs. Also there is $3.14 for the FTF.


For getting to the cache…careful planning may help. Alternatively, make use of my namesake.

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

 

Congrats to sno_man on the FTF!!!
