Nerdcache

Posted by pnear

James came up with an interesting term the other day for the many multi-stage complex geocaches that are located around the University of Waterloo.  Here’s a sample of a “nerdcache”:

For the west, take the 7 letters that total the last name attached to the complex. Use the same formula (A=1 etc) to calculate the sum of those 7 numbers. Double it, the divide by 1000 and add it to the West co-ords. For example, if the last name is ZACHARY (Z=25, A=1, C=3, H=8, A=1, R=18, Y=25), the total would be 82, doubled to 164. The final western co-ords 80.29.852.

Of course I told Jodie about all the nercaches in Waterloo and she shot back that they’re all nerd caches.
