Geocache Description:


This series is all about maths, something I rather enjoy, and will take you on a journey around Matarawa.

** You will be driving/biking/riding across train tracks.  These are uncontrolled.  Please take care and look each way thoroughly before you cross. **

** The roads are narrow and the locals can speed along them.  There is room to park at each cache but take care if you need to cross the road. **

For most of the series, you will be playing proNerdle, which is the maths version of Wordle.  ProNerdle means I have created the puzzle for you to solve. 

NOTE: You will need an equation each side of the = sign.

Rules:        

  • Each guess is a calculation.       
  • You can use 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - * / or =.  Later on other symbols will be there for you to use.
  • Each equation must contain one “=”.
  • Standard order of operations applies, so calculate * and / before + and – e.g. 3+2*5=13 not 25!
  • If the answer we're looking for is 10+20=30, then we will accept 20+10=30 too (unless you turn off 'commutative answers' in settings).

  • If your guess includes, say, two 1s but the answer has only one, you will get one colour tile and one black.
  • Tiles will only go green if the number is in the correct position or when a full guess is rearranged as a winning commutative answer.
  • You have 10 tries to solve the equation. 
  • When you have solved the equation, write it in the Certitude link (make sure you don’t have any spaces in the equation) to receive the correct coordinates.
