[Az-Geocaching] Major League Cacher and Cache Density

[EvilFISH]

RE: [Az-Geocaching] Major League Cacher and Cache Densityactually lets make that 128 GC.com plus 128 Navicaches plus 128 Terracaches and if the GC use red containers Navicache uses white and Terracaches use blue.  thus avoiding confusion

  I know I'm joining this party late, but I brought an extra one: 128 as follows


  row     num  cumulative side length   
   1       11          0.000
   2       11        528.000
   3       11       1056.000
   4       11       1584.000
   5       10       2041.261
   6       11       2498.523
   7       10       2955.784
   8       11       3413.046
   9       10       3870.307
  10       11       4327.568
  11       10       4784.830
  12       11       5242.091
          128


  Now the real question, in light of the earlier discussions around "power trails"... is this a "power grid" ;)

    After I corrected my dumb error, I came up with 127.  You can make one of the inbetween rows 11 as well and skip the triangles, but I don't think there is enough to do it twice, so it only adds one.

    Bill's right : there's room to double up some square rows in the middle of the equilateral grid - probably enough to push the total to 128 or 129.  Mathematicians will have to provide the best answer. Maybe I'll dump the question into the GC.com forums.

      Also, did you know?-
      The maximum number of caches you can fit in a square mile is 100? Well, that is IF GC.com actually stuck to their .1 "ahem"..."guideline".
