Geocache Description:


Over the years, Santa Claus has been bringing joy to millions of children all over the world. While he delivers the presents on Christmas Eve, the work is going on all year long in preparation for the big night.  Santa, Mrs, Claus, the elves and the reindeer work for months and months so they are properly prepared for when the big night arrives.  Fortunately, it is just planet Earth and not the entire GAlaxy that they need to cover.

It is an unenviable task for sure to deliver presents across the globe IN one night.  As the world population has grown, the task has grown more dificult each year, but thanks to technological advances, as well as advances to his sled, he has been able to keep up the pace.  Here in the USA, it is especially impressive the way he is able to zip from state to state to state.

The elves have done such a good job of incorporating technology into the operation, they have actually been able to figure out how many presents Santa Claus has delivered through the years.  As of Christmas 2020, the number has exceeded 300 trillion gifts!  The algorithm that they wrote looks like a mAZe of code, but the results make it all worthwhile.  

In order to find the cache, you will need to figure out the exact number of presents that Santa has delivered at the time that this cache was published.  When entering your answer into Certitudes do not include spaces or commas.  Not an easy task, but certainly not more difficult than actually delivering them!  Good luck!!!


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
