Laocoön gets killed by the
serpents
Story so far
The Greeks have built a gigantic wooden horse, in which soldiers
have hidden themselves. They have left the horse outside the city
walls of Troy. When the Trojans discover the horse, they think it
is a gift from the Greeks, who obviously have given up and gone
home.
The Trojan priest Laocoön however is very suspicious, and warns
the Trojans, by uttering the following now famous words:
Equo ne credite, Teucri
Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes
-- From the Aeneid, by Vergilius.
(Do not trust the horse, Trojans
Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even bearing gifts.)
However, while Laocoön is warning his fellow Trojans on the
beach, two sea serpents rise out of the sea, attack him, and
subsequently kill him. The Trojans take this as a sign from the
Gods, indicating that Laocoön was wrong. They decide to bring the
woorden horse within the city walls anyway. We all know how the
story ends.

Cache location
The coordinates above only point to the place where you can
still see one of the sea serpents, not to where the cache is
hidden. To find the cache, count the number of parts of the
serpent that are visible above ground level, and move 0.040
degree-minutes southwards and 0.027 degree-minutes eastwards for
each part you can see. (Please cross the road in a safe
manner!)

Du hittar cachen genom att räkna antalet synliga delar av ormen
som sticker ut över marken, och förflytta dig 0.040 gradminuter
söderut och 0.027 gradminuter österut för varje sådan synlig del.
(Korsa vägen på ett säkert sätt!)
