Cache is not at listed coords.
Congrats to ??? on the FTF
So you dared to get close to the Blackhole cache, eh? Your passing
curiosity may have just led you to the point of no return, or as
astro-geeks like to call it: the "event horizon."
This really is an easy puzzle cache to solve, in-fact you will be
powerless to avoid the solution. Once you start, you can't but end
up at the solution, regardless of how hard you try to avoid
it!
You WILL follow the directions, and YES... you will solve this
puzzle, bwahahahaha! [cue Maniacal Laughter]
The cache is located at:
N 40 X
W 105 Y
Where:
X=[12433 - (A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H)] / 1000
Y=[7534 - (A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H)] / 1000
To find A:
1. Pick any whole, positive number. (1,2,3,...,infinity)
2. Count the number of even digits (0=even)
3. Count the number of odd digits
4. Count the total number of digits
5. Arrange them Even, Odd, Total to form a new number (include
leading zeros).
6. Repeat the process on the new number
To find B:
1. Pick any whole, positive number. (1,2,3,...,infinity)
2. Write out that number in English (e.g. 7=Seven,
22=Twenty-Two)
3. Count the number of characters in the spelling
4. Write the new count in English
5. Repeat the process
To find C:
1. Pick any whole, positive number that is a multiple of 3.
(3,6,9,12,15,18,...,infinity)
2. Take the cube of each digit in the above number
3. Sum the cubes to form a new number
4. Repeat the process
To find D:
1. Pick any 4 digit number, except ones where all for digits are
the same (1111, 2222, 3333, etc...)
2. Arrange the 4 digits from highest (allowing 0 as a digit) to
lowest to make a new number
3. Arrange the 4 digits from lowest to highest (allowing 0 as a
digit) to make a new number
4. Subtract the two new numbers.
5. Repeat the process
To find E:
1. Pick any whole, positive number greater than 1.
(2,3,...,infinity)
2. Write down all the divisors of the number (e.g. 6=1,2,3,6
28=1,2,4,7,14,28)
3. Sum the *digits* of the divisors together to form a new
number
4. Repeat the process
To find F, G, & H:
1. Pick any whole, positive number. (1,2,3,...,infinity)
2. If it is an odd number, triple it and add one
3. If it is an even number, divide in half
4. Repeat the process. (You will cycle through 3 numbers, assign
the largest to F, middle to G, and smallest to H)
