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
Please note that this
cache is a micro and is unfortunately too small for trade
items. You will need to bring your own pen or
pencil.
