When searching
for this cache, please be aware of muggles using the location as a
means to shorten their journey from A to B. Exercise
caution. Extreme stealth required!
The above
co-ordinates will NOT take you to the
cache.
To find the exact location you will need to solve the
following.
Decipher the
following:
a
653 379 79463
b
5239 746633
c
335423728464 87 84637
d
736836233 27337 9265
e
46387874687 75283
These will
give you anagrams (snag a ram) of famous tourist attractions
(caution, it rots tarts). In solving these, ALL the letters
must be used. Then apply the following formulae to arrive at
the co-ordinates needed to find Snag-a-Ram. Assume that a=1,
b=2, c=3, etc. and that anagram a, word 1, letter 3 = [a1.3],
anagram d, word 3, letter 2 = [d3.2] and so on. Substitute
missing digits with 0.
Calculate:
S26 ab.cde
E28 AB.CDE
ab
=
(([a1.4]*[a2.3])\[b1.1])\3-21
cde
=
(([c1.6]*[d2.2])+([c2.1]*[e2.4])+([c3.2]*[e1.4])-44)
AB
=
(([a2.5]*[b1.5])+[b1.4])-34
CDE
= ([c3.4]*[d1.4]*2)+([d3.4]*[e1.8])+6

that this cache is a micro and is unfortunately too small for trade
