Description

Location

This cache has been placed on Browns road on the way up to the Mount Misery walking track.  All caches have been placed where there is parking.  The road is very narrow in places and one lane only, so drive slow in case vehicles come the other way!

 

Puzzle

The Meissel–Mertens constant (named after Ernst Meissel and Franz Mertens), also referred to as Mertens constantKronecker's constantHadamardde la Vallée-Poussin constant or the prime reciprocal constant, is a mathematical constant in number theory, defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series summed only over the primes and the natural logarithm of the natural logarithm:

{displaystyle M=lim _{nrightarrow infty }left(sum _{pleq n}{frac {1}{p}}-ln(ln n)right)=gamma +sum _{p}left[ln !left(1-{frac {1}{p}}right)+{frac {1}{p}}right].}

Here γ is the Euler–Mascheroni constant, which has an analogous definition involving a sum over all integers (not just the primes).

As July is a very busy month for us we needed to find a few free days to look for the MMMM puzzles hidden in the south. We had solved the puzzle quickly after it was published and made another quick find of a well hidden cache.

Thanks for this contribution to the MMMM Game Budgietas. Container and contents were safe and dry.

The required log photo was taken and is included with this log.

Hi Budge
Enjoyed the puzzles on these caches
This trip was double barrelled in nature
First barrel - to find some caches, of which, this was one
It was Sainted at 1140 hours
Second barrel – to check Mum and Dad’s grave flowers
Both barrels went off well
Cheers and thanks

This hide looked like a bonfire! We were able to park right next to it. I'm so glad the weather cleared up or we wouldn't have come here today.
Thanks Budgietas
