Music and Math - what a great combo! This is a three stage treasure
hunt. Your knowledge of popular songs, math, and the spirit of
puzzle solving will help you get through this quickly.
The above coordinates are for parking only - Sorry, the cache isnot
located there. (Don't you just love it when the description starts
out this way!) This isn't a park and grab and you will be taking a
journey so put on your hiking boots, grab an energy bar, and fill
your water bottle.
Number (music)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A number in music is a self-contained piece that is combined with
other such pieces in a performance. In a concert of popular music,
for example, the individual songs or pieces performed are often
referred to as "numbers." The term is applied also to sections of
large vocal works (such as opera, oratorio, or musical) when the
written or printed score for such a work designates the titles of
the pieces with sequential numbers, hence the aptness of the term.
The use of numerical designations in extended vocal musical works
has the practical advantage of facilitating rehearsal plans,
especially when their designations include assignment of
characters.
adj.
a. Of or relating to a category of poetry that expresses subjective
thoughts and feelings.

c. Of or relating to a writer of poems in this category.
