It's been a gloomy day and looks like it's gonna be a gloomy evening, so I thought I'd dust off my old Cyber Cache and post it just to see who out there, like old MadCacher, is bored and has way too much time on their hands!!
Old MadCacher lives alone and as a result, often becomes extremely bored. He is always trying to find different ways to amuse himself, some of them legal. The morning after one long, cold winter's night in January--well, the night was neither all that long nor very cold actually, since Old MadCacher lived quite near the equator--he thought to himself that he might just take some time out of his everyday boring life and go for a looooooooong walk.
Since he wants his walk to take as long as possible--he is, after all, doing this out of boredom--he decides to walk all the way around the girth of the earth. He chooses to do so at the equator, a mere 59 miles south of his home, because that's the longer route than going around by the poles, and heck, it will be a lot warmer, too.
So Old MadCacher packs up all the provisions he thinks he will need--his GPS, cell phone, a pocket full of credit cards, and his special shoes--the walk-on-water ones, and heads out. Now, he is an excellent walker, having had many years of actual practice because he has never owned a vehicle. His stride is remarkably consistent, being always two feet, three inches, a feat that always amazes his friends. He moves right along at a steady pace of sixty steps per minute. Few would undertake such a journey, but Old MadCacher does not hesitate--off he goes.
How many millions of steps will Old MadCacher take on his journey from his home, to the equator, around the earth, and back home? AB,CDE,FGH
After one year, Old MadCacher will still have how many days? hours? and minutes left before he sees home again? TUV days WX hours YZ minutes Hint: Don't do any rounding up or down except for the number of minutes.
To claim your find on this CyberCache, use your answers to the above questions to fill in the missing numbers of the coordinates and PM me the name of the town you would be in if you were there!
N TU°VW.XYZ'
W 98°AB.CDE'
HINT: Use a whole number for the circumference of the earth, round up that fraction of a mile if you found it in your source.
