Geocache Description:


We all learn about a variety of subjects at school, but mathematics is perhaps the most fundamental. I imagine anyone reading this cache description can recall some fond (or not so fond) memories of multiplication tables, the quadratic formula, or the Pythagorean Theorem. The puzzle below may appear challenging at first glance, but as long as you know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, there's nothing to be afraid of! While there is definitely math required to solve the puzzle, you won't need calculus, trigonometry, or complex analysis-- only arithmetic!

Bring your own pen. There is a trail head at the posted coordinates. As a point of clarification, the commas are there only because commas are placed every three digits in very large numbers. The puzzle is meant to consist of two very large numbers, not two sequences of three-digit numbers. Have fun!....


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
