I'll start: Save It... The cache page is almost nothing but coordinates. The hint is "Zoom Zoom" If you copy/paste the coords into Google Earth, and zoom way in, you'll see a building shaped like a particular letter/number. Do this for each set of coords and the letters/numbers spell out where the final is. Geocacher's Bill Of Rights Most of the cache page is obfuscation, prattling on about the geocaching version of the Bill of Rights.

Mayan Numbers

It is similar to the Babylonians but the Mayans chose different numbers as their bases. They used dots to represent numbers under five, so four is four dots. Five is represented by a line. This works up to nineteen, but rather than twenty being four lines, they started a new count above the first one. To calculate a Mayan number, you need to divide the number into powers of twenty. The great advantage of the positional system is that you need only a limited number of symbols (the Mayans only had two, plus their symbol for zero) and you can represent any whole number, however big. The Mayan had a second Number System, used for dating buildings and on Calendars, etc. . © Jo Edkins 2006 - Return to Numbers index.
