On my last trip to Australia, I took a trip to the top of the
Rialto Towers in order to take some night pictures of downtown
Melbourne. There was a cool display there in the lobby that talked
about the "World Federation of Great Towers", an association of
towers and skyscrapers around the world that have observation decks
open to the public. Now you too can learn about the WFGT, and take a virtual tour of some cool and
interesting areas around the world!
First, solve the puzzle using the pictures and table above. If
you do it right, you'll get a single-digit number for each "Code"
letter in the table. Then, get the actual coordinates for the cache
using the formula below, using only the ones digit of each sum.
(Example: 5 + 7 = 2):
N 44°
(A+B)(C+D).(E+F)(G+H)(I+J)
W 093° (K+L)(M+N).(O+P)(Q+R)(S+T)
Location, Parking, and Access
There is free and legal parking within spittin' distance of the
cache. You're looking for a small cache that has room for only a
few trade items. It starts out with a Red Jeep TB, a non-trackable
Army Challenge Coin, and a $5 bill for the first finder. Some
stealth will definitely be required...I tried to give you some
cover, but use your best judgment when searching for and retrieving
the cache. Thanks, and as always - have fun, and happy hunting!
