NUMBERS TO LETTERS TO NUMBERS AGAIN. THAT'S CIRCULAR LOGIC!
YOU WILL BE TESTED IN VARIOUS MATHEMATICAL DISCIPLINES OF VARIED DIFFICULTY LEVELS: UNIT CONVERSIONS, BASIC TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES, MULTIPLICATION OF WHOLE NUMBERS AND FRACTIONS, BASIC ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY. IN ADDITION THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS TOUCHING GEOGRAPHY AND NAVIGATION TOPICS.
THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED INSIDE ALEXANDRIA'S SOUTH TRAFFIC CIRCLE. TO FIND THE TRUE COORDINATES, TAKE THE CIRCULAR LOGIC EXAM AND FOLLOW THREE STEPS TO THE CACHE.
STEP ONE: EVALUATE THE FOLLOWING EXPRESSIONS FROM THE IMAGES BELOW. ALL ANSWERS MUST BE EXPRESSED IN WHOLE NUMBER OF DEGREES. ROUND TO NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER WHEN NECESSARY.
STEP TWO: USING ALL 119 ANSWERS, ENTER THE COMPASS TO FIND THE CORRESPONDING LETTERS.
STEP THREE: USING THE LETTERS YOU RECEIVE FROM THE COMPASS, NAVIGATE TO THE FINAL CACHE COORDINATES. THERE WILL BE A HINT TO DECIPHER FOR A FINAL CHALLENGE BEFORE YOU CAN PROCEED.
I make no apologies for the complexity of this puzzle. This is middle to high school level knowledge. The puzzle is tedious but it's worth it. The cache is an ammo can hidden less than ten miles from Alexandria, Louisiana.
