[Az-Geocaching] Maximum square mile cache density

[Bill Nolan]

Same problem we were solving before, just with a square that is 528' shorter
on a side, so it is 4752 on a side.  That means you get 10 in the long rows
and 9 in the short rows (triangle pattern for max density).  Rows are still
457.261' apart, except you can put a couple the full 528 apart and get extra
rows of 10.  I think 96 is right.

Okay, maybe I opened a can of worms here...

 

I should be more specific...I was trying to figure out how many caches can
fit into a square mile, leaving enough buffer zone (.05 mile) around the
edges, so each square mile around the area in question can also have the
same amount of caches? 

 

Any math geniuses out there? Anyone? 

 

Scott and I were discussing this today, and also called it a "Power Grid"...

 

Maybe on Terracaching.com....thinking, thinking.....
