Thailand..pleeeeeezzzz

Found this at Tesco, I want to hide it but am lacking in ideas, and concerned some critter might eat it. Over to the ingenious and critterologists...it is rubber.

My Webpage

I believe Torquemada was the first Cardinal of the Spanish Inquisition, and Ximines/Ximinez the second. I seem to remember there were six, have searched forever, cannot find the others. Any theologians here can help please. Some danger of this thread going off at a tangent now ???

Yes, I saw the solutions at a glance, especially as the first one gives it away, and the second has a clue, and is part of a series, i guess in the same vein. I don't think (not sure) the OP wanted any input on the remaining clues, as there are none in the first. but constructive help would no doubt be welcomed. I think there's a LOT more can be done with the Windows calculator and hope to see it if the series progresses. An ad in the local paper is seeking an 'oppo to scale the 6 summits here, must be a geocacher, considering the other attractions.

pic ok

link did not work ...???? bb code ok for gc..but ...others????

You can see by my account name that I need help, please. Have New Palm Z22, connected to PC, (Hotsync) OK and dl cachemate files to Z22 OK, so Cachemate Icon is showing. I have Cache Files saved as html, *.loc from Mapsource and *.gpx from Mapsource. Please how do I transfer them to the Z22, scorn and ryfm's acceptable along with some info. Thank You All

Must Confess my fourth reading of Bill Bryson's "Short History of Nearly Everything"..gave a huge impetus.

Instead of cursing the various barbs and trips encountered on the no-trail trails.I have now become fascinated by the botany of these "hazards", also the grasses I trample, and bushes and trees and leaves and..and.. There's no end to it. Need another lifetime.Another for the Wildlife. Anyone else really broadened their interests through caching?

I believe we are talking at x-purposes. I will contact you by email with the results obtained from the problem data, AND the actual co-ordinates of the cache. I will close this now.

In your original post you said that the data were "too loose." Now you are saying that they are wrong. Very different. It is true that the first stage problem can have no valid solution. But I doubt anybody here is going to take the time to solve it for you. I suspect that you are using the wrong values for your coordinates into the CAD program. But I don't know that, and I don't have a CAD program myself to test it on. So my suggestion is to take it up with the cache hider. Too loose and wrong. it's semantics, the guy is my math tutor and this is ASIA, you don't tell people they are wrong, only in a roundabout way, especially if they grade your work. THe correct values for the wayponts are in the cad data, I have captured as screenshots. The owner has been advised in a roundabout way (Asia again), my ploy was to send him someone elses calcs, resulting in the wrong answer. "Oh what a tangled web we weave...."

The first stage can be solved to a precision better than 1 m with the data given. The second stage has even better precision. My guess is that your solution method is incorrect. yes but the solution is not the co-ords you need.. I know what they are, and working backwards from 4 x,y positions the subtended angles are wrong. Try UG or Autocad on the initial problem, any data will give you an answer, but not the correct one. Im trying to show that anyone attempting it even methodically correct will be wrong, therefore the data needs changing.

wen i see a thred whats not got good grammer an spellin, i no the riter is unejukate so i doant take no notis of wat he sez. how aboutt youse. ? edditid for spell mistakens

Clarification The name of the cache is ASEAN2 GCW17E, I have solved it using a CAD system (Unigraphics), about 12 places of decimals. I asked the owner to look at it and he said I was 54m out, against his graph paper. I explained how my solution was arrived at, no answer. I believe that the problem cannot be solved accurately enough by conventional or mathematical means because the initial data is too loose Wondering if someone woild look and confirm.

Not sure if this is the right forum..but anyway.. ASEAN2 has a geometry puzzle to locate first set of co-ords Unfortunately I believe that the information presented is too imprecise, especially considering the x,y (waypoint) values. Anyone care to come up with solution please?

What did it mean please ??? email me if nec..I won't be going for it.

Mountai greater than 305metres, anything less is a hillock

You guys better get all this settled if it's gonna be an Olympic Event.

Pointed out a distant Island, and told the guy, "there's a tough cache over there"..He Logged it..well he could see the Island

I love the highly muggleable caches, I should run courses on how to cope. Of course it helps to be an eccentric,bumbling grouchy septugarian.
