1. Here is the puzzle.
This is a math puzzle.

I have been watching the spate of recent math caches and have not had much luck with them. (All the math teaching cachers seem to be doing OK though!) So I thought I would try to put one out myself. Don’t feel bad if you "other cachers" have trouble with this one. I had my own trouble making it! The location is kind of specific to the answer.
N 44 3x.xxx, W 088 2y.yyyNote that: "Gibonacci, Fibonacci and Lucas agree here!" The title of cache is helpful.
Additional Hints:
Moduli three
Seed one,one
Sum fifteen
The letters "x" and "y" are meaningless to the puzzle. They are just placeholders.

2. Helpful Resources.
According to the CO, there are three ways to solve this puzzle:
1. Do the math (hardest).
2. Find the right website clue, and identify the relevant information (moderately hard).
3. Locate the give-away solution (easiest - if you can find it).
Suggestion: Use Google to search for helpful websites. That is where you will get your best results for this puzzle.
1. Do the math (hardest).
If you want to pursue this option, use Google to locate resources.
2. Find the right website clue, and identify the relevant information (moderately hard).
Search Google with the following string:
Gibonacci, Fibonacci and Lucas Moduli three Odd Coding Is Add Combo
The following websites will be listed:
Card Colm - By: Colm MulcahySearch this site for, "Coding Is Add Combo".
Now locate the mod 3 (m = 3) string, which is "1 1 2 3 2 2 1 3". This string of numbers solves the puzzle.
True Number Theory
Look for Gibonacci Bracelets, and locate m = 3 ('m' stands for moduli).
You will find the following:
"When m = 3 there is a unique (non-trivial) balanced Gibonacci bracelet
with eight beads and sum 15, got by looping the last bead of 1 1 2 3 2 2
1 3 back to the beginning. Note that Fibonacci and Lucas agree here!"
3. Locate the give-away solution (easiest - if you can find it).
Hint: The solution is on both this page and the original cache page. See if you can find it.
To locate the solution, highlight the entire Puzzle Description. The hidden solution is white font with a white background, so when you highlight everything, the hidden numbers can be seen.
