Geocache Description:

First Multi-Cache in Kyushu starts on historical ground and ends as an adventure.

The cache is starting on a place, which is known all over the world. It should never been forgotten.

Here, you need to get following data:

A = How many black stones are stored on top of each other to form the black post, which marks the
position of the atom bomb explosion point
B = How many lamps are installed around that post in the ground for illumination in the night
C = How many stone lamps of a buddha temple survived during blast and showed nearby the post

Now, the calculation start already to find the next coordinates:

D = B * C
E = B / (A-C)

Now take the last two numbers of the North coordinate (=20) and add (B*C+A).
Please watch the mathematic rules!
And take the last three numbers of the East coordinate (=795) and subtrate (A*A*E+A)

Next coordinates
North 32 46.2(20+(B*C+A))
East 129 51.(795-(A*A*E+A)

Is it far away? Toi- dess-ka? Not really, but a little walk needs to be done....

==========> You found it?: Yes or Hai! ;-)

Now, read exactly, what is written here and don´t make any mistake.

F = The year (4-digits), when that memorial has been erected
G = The year (4-digits), when that memorial has been refurbished
H = The year (4-digits), when this new plaque has been installed
K = How far is is away from the hypocenter of the atom bomb
( =app. the same as the explosion hight of the bomb)

Ready to calculate? I guess, YES:

L = K/((A*A*E+A)/C)
M = CROSSUM(B)
P = E+C*C
R = H-F
S = G-F
T = H-G
U = R-S-T

Puuuhhhhh: That is hard. A lot of calculations an numbers...

The cache location is following

North 32 4L.AMP
East 129 5U.M((D+A)/C*C)

A little help here, because you should not make any mistake during calculations

The cross-sum (adding all single numbers) of the Number AMP = 24 = last 3-digits of north coordinate
The cross-sum of the last 3-digits of the east coordinate = 11.

If your cross-sum is not correct, you CAN´T find the final cache.

Believe me, it is hard to reach the cache.
This cache should be not made with kids, older people.
It is NOT possible in the night and watch out for spiders ;-)

==> You found it?!! CONGRATULATIONS

Following items will be found in the cache and please trade something and don´t forget to
