+The Hokesters Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Is it just me or have a lot of new caches been set over the last week or so? Still haven't managed an FTF even though there have been five in the past week within 25 miles of home. Four of which are within 10miles. Si Quote Link to comment

Well you do say its COLD and WINDY, you need to swim half a mile or get rescued from mud flats it is on an island just south of Emsworth. requires a journey of about 1/2 mile so quite a swim!!! although I believe you can get to it at low tide, though the coastguard recently rescued some children from the mud about here Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Just had a look at my local area and in the last 4 weeks only 3 new caches placed within 20 miles of my house and only 8 within 30 miles Quote Link to comment

+kewfriend Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Well, clearly C refers to planes flying over. So it must be a well-known plane number. That limits it to 737, 747, 757 or 767. But 757 is prime. So C=11*67 or 9*83 or 13*59. I also noted that, if the artists' dates were t to u and w to x, then A=2(t-w)+2(u-x) and B=2(t-w)+(u-x). So A must be even and A-B=u-x. So A-B+1 is a factor of C. By observation, the coordinates aren't going to be far from Kew Green, so A=30 is too far north (in Acton) and A=26 too far south. So A must be 28. By observation, B must be about 17, so A-B+1 must be about 12. So, either, B=18 and A-B+1=11 and C=11*67=737 which places the cache in Syon Park or B=16 and A-B+1=13 and C=13*59=767 which is in the M+S car park or thereabouts. Re. our first multi cache we just hidden. The writer of this email did the cache without even going there! I won't say who cracked it - but he obviously has the brain the size of a planet. At least two have done it as intended! And one of his surmises is spot-on Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!! Blue in Kew Quote Link to comment
