This cache is hidden as part of the 2nd Vancouver Island Hide-&-Go Cache
Event, February 25, 2006. Please ignore the above coordinates - they will simply place you in the middle of a road in the Greater Victoria area that is a motorcyclist's delight. The cache name, Half Slice, is an anagram of a Natural Feature located in the Greater Victoria area. To determine the actual cache location, do the following: Solve the anagram. Once you have done this, number each unique letter of the result sequentially from left to right, starting with the number 1. Using the numerical value generated for each letter, substitute each letter in the original anagram with its corresponding number to generate a nine digit number, to be called the "Generated Number". As an example: If the Cache Name (the anagram) had been: LEAVE BREAK The name of the Natural Feature would be: BEAVER LAKE Sequentially assigning numbers to unique letters would result in: B=1, E=2, A=3, V=4, R=5, L=6, K=7 Applying these values to the letters in the Cache Name results in: 6234215237 (the "Generated Number")- (Note: this number is for example purposes only). To calculate the final coordinates, do the following: For the northing (in ddmm.mmm) Divide the "Generated Number" by 132191.1458134900586 For the westing (in dddmm.mmm) Divide the "Generated Number" by 51780.6518639230755 For convenience, round your answers at the 13th decimal place. Cache is a medium/small Lock-n-Lock, painted black, which contains: Logbook, pen, geocache sheet 3 Scratch-n-Wins for the First to Find 1 Scratch-n-Win for each of the Second and Third to Find Historical Plantman Pet Rock Disneyland Antenna Ball Small pouch from John O'Groats, Scotland Martha Washington U.S. Dollar Coin, found in a cache in England Loonie A couple of key fobs GPS food Mini Tape Measure Geocaching.com stick-on Eyeglass repair kit Have fun! Too bad that most hand held calculators can't handle more than 8 digits...... |
