Pi Day Pie Mystery Cache

Capt. Bob: I recently received this email
“Who gave you permission to place your geocache hide? It may be a government (town, state, or federal), business, or person. I'll need a name and contact info (phone or email) of the property owner to publish a geocache. Saying it's "public property" will not get your geocache published. This can be the trickiest question to answer - if it seems like public property you can call the town hall to ask, or try to find an assessor's map online (which lists owners) by doing a Google search for GIS town name map, and then contacting them. For municipal property, often someone in the recreation department can give permission.

None of my caches comply with this directive and I won't change them, therefore I will be archiving all of them. It’s been fun while it lasted!

Geocache Description:


Here's a little Pie problem for Pi day. 

Suppose you have a freshly baked pie sitting on a table (hmmm, smells so good) and a big old knife laying next to it.  Some smart-aleck says "You can have the whole pie if you can solve this simple problem. What is the maximum number of pieces of pie you can make when you divide a pie with just six cuts?  Likewise, what is the maximum number of pieces of pie made when you divide a pie with just 19 cuts?"  Sounds simple enough, right?

Now to find your prize take the number of pieces made with six cuts and add 100 to find N42° 27.XXX.  Then take the number of pieces made with 19 cuts and add 100 to find W073° 12.YYY.
