Six colleagues who worked together decided that they wanted to
hide their identities from their employer in case their somewhat
caustic comments about their workplace on social networking sites
led to them getting into trouble.
They decided to use code names for their conversations, so they
picked a place or person that they liked or admired
Richard's codename is a port on the east coast of England, it
has three teams competing at the top level of their sports, and
from one of these teams the first black person to captain a British
team was selected
Carley's codename is a Lake District mountain the east ridge of
which divides Oxenden from Mickleden, it is quite well known
because it's high iron content can sometimes deflect compass
needles
Tony's codename was a Derbyshire man who not only became a vicar
but also the Astronomer Royal
Steve's codename is also a mountain, a member of the Munro list,
associated with fairies and gravity
Chris' codename is a member of the Welsh 3000 foot list, and has
a proud name carried by the proper Prince of Wales
Ben's Codename is a small village about 8 miles south west of
Leicester in the district of Blaby, it is known locally as a
quarrying centre
The group were also keen geocachers and gave some thought to
whether they could use their codenames as a puzzle. Richard
discovered that their codenames coincided with a published numeric
system, updated annually, and so they bought a copy of this code
book, published in Sheffield in 2004 and started to use the code
numbers instead
They have now hidden a cache at the following location
52 ab.cde 1 fg.hij
where
a = [chris 4]
b = [richard 5]
c = ([tony 5] + [ben 3])
d = ([steve 4] - [carley 4])
e = [tony 2]
f = ([ben 1] - [chris 5])
g = ([tony 1] * [ben 4])
h = (([steve 2] + [tony 3] + ([richard 1] * [chris 4])) -
[carley 1])
i = ([ben 4] * [tony 4]) + ([steve 3] + [chris 2])
j = [richard 3]
Note there is no mathematical calculation within the square
brackets
Good Luck
