It is simple if you know how to play the game. But for those who don't know, I will explain the basics: you have five cards. Higher is better, but the Ace is the highest of all. We are not going to play the game, but to read the draw of five cards and find the coordinates where the cache is hidden. To make it even easier to play (especially for home-schooled geocachers), all cards are face up. The cards are easy to read - this ensures there is no confusion that might lead you to the wrong location. Nevertheless, the checker is there to help.
To read a draw, you will need basic arithmetic skills. Since you will have to do a division (once in a while), the cache difficulty was increased to 4.
The first line is given as an example:
As you see: Strength = 2, Outs = 6, Odds = 15.
For those who are not used to counting cards, you can calculate the Odds by using the below formula:
C(n, k) =
n!
k! ⋅ (n−k)!
In our case:
Odds = C(Outs, Strength) =
Outs!
Strength! ⋅ (Outs − Strength)!
Substituting the values:
Odds = C(6, 2) =
6!
2! ⋅ (6 − 2)!
=
1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6
(1 × 2) ⋅ (1 × 2 × 3 × 4)
=
720
2 ⋅ 24
= 15
Cache location is: N 44° 12.ABC E 028° 37.XYZ
But, sufficient baby-sitting. Let's play Constanta Hold'em.
Below hand will give you the number A. Odds - Outs = A
Below hand will give you the number B. Outs - Strength = B
Below hand will give you the number C. Outs + Strength = C
Below hand will give you the number X. Odds = X
Below hand will give you the number Y. Outs = Y
Below hand will give you the number Z. Outs - Strength = Z
