I've been wanting to do a puzzle cache for a while. This is my first, so any recommendations on the difficulty are appreciated and I'll adjust it accordingly. Everything you need to know to solve this cache you learned in high school. There is no need for any operation more difficult than multiplication. There are three clues: one for the first puzzle, one for the second puzzle, and a description of the cache container.
In the following puzzles X is a two digit number and the solution to puzzle 1. Y and Z are each one digit numbers and the solution to puzzle 2. For each puzzle, the list of numbers follows a consistent series and the series are valid on the interval from 1 to infinity.
Puzzle 1:
4 9 X 52 63 94 46 18 1 121 441 961 691 522 652
Puzzle 2:
Z 2 2 4 2 4 2 4 6 2 6 Y 2 4 6
