Geocache Description:

This is the 19th cache in the series of alphabet caches. The purpose of this cache is to eventually create a series of caches from A to Z. The next cache in the series is Alphabet T - The Castle (GCNBK2) by Mesu & Helene.

To find this cache you need to visit the cache Alphabet R – Rough Cryptography (GCN2DA) first. There you can find the values A and B.

What is this piece of music?

HHCDDCHAGGAHHAA

Who is the composer? Let C be two last digits of the year the composer died and D be two last digits of the year the composer was born. Now you need to go to the Composer’s Park (Säveltäjänpuisto) and find a stone labyrinth with a sundial. Go right to the centre of the labyrinth and turn to face the entrance. On the left hand side of the entrance you will see a brass plate. The first word on that plate has E letters.

The coordinates above give the reference point. The true bearing from that point to the cache is A + E - 6 and the distance 20*D + 29*E + B + C + 8 metres.

To guarantee the continuity of the series, the following rules apply:

  • The first finder of this cache must place a cache corresponding to the next letter in the alphabet within two weeks from the find. The cache must also be named like "Alphabet ? - ?...", where ? is the next letter and ?... is any name beginning with that letter.
  • The next cache must be placed within the capital city region. That is, within the limits of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa or Kauniainen.
  • The cache description must be constructed so that the cache can only be found by finding the previous alphabet cache. The preferred way is to write the final coordinates of the cache into the log book of the previous cache.
  • These rules must apply also to the rest of the caches. Please copy these rules to the description.

Please don't rush yourself to be the first finder if you can't quickly put up the next cache. There are plenty of geocachers in the capital region who can.
