+suemac Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I'm working on a puzzle cache and I'm having problems with the way the cache owner says to figure out the coords. The question (verbatim) for finding one of the coords is: Gotham City is E + 1 miles from Batcave? Would you read this as: distance = E + 1 or E = distance + 1 inquiring minds want to know...

+parkrrrr Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 The first. Put another way, E is one less than the number of miles from the Batcave to Gotham City. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I agree with Fuzzy. Gotham = E + 1Gotham - 1 = EGotham - E = 1 Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
+GatoRx Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Just e-mail Zepyrus directly and ask him. ---- When in doubt, poke it with a stick. Quote Link to comment

+suemac Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 Yeah, I emailed him already, but we don't seem to be communicating :-). I'm trying to figure out without having him tell me directly if I have the right answer to the question... If the answer I found several places online is correct (14 miles from the batcave to Gotham City) and if he's using the first equation, then the cache is several miles out in the Atlantic. I don't think so! Either my answer is wrong or we're getting the coordinate from the answer in different ways. I think the first equation is correct, but being a newbie, thought I'd ask to see if I was doing it wrong. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
