Puzzle cache which may be made more difficult if you take what normally makes possums high,easily found cache,which involves a bit of step workout to get there.
Wonderfully named small park I discovered when working very close by, which, due to the name & location called out for a cache.
The puzzle involves a bit of maths,& you may need your glasses for the first waypnt. Its based on using the co-ordinates for the cache listing & manipulating them with the data found to find next waypnt.( only the last 3 digits on each will be changed)
1/-Find the number which will reveal the Facts.Write it down! (the last digit is 3)
SOUTH-add the 7 digits up (ignore the no.in brackets)--to get the sum , the digits of the total should add up to 11-(eg 74 =7+4=11.) as a check.
Use the sum & times it by 4 , subtract this from 687.
EAST-Use the same sum & times it by 3 & subtract it from 688
Using the data obtained go find waypnt 2 --use the Force Luke!(ladder)
WPNT 2/--Should be at a place of rest, use the original listing co-ordinates again & change them thus--
SOUTH-count the total no. of bolts holding the boards on both apparatus & times it by 4. Then subtract the 5th no. of the facts no.you found before from this sum. The resulting digits should add up to 7.subtract this sum from 687
EAST-total no. of boards on both apparatus times 6 plus the 3rd & 7th no.of the facts no. Subtract this sum from 688.
FINAL-well camoed small sistema container ( dont leave anything for the possums as they are high enough-now)Hope you had fun with this cache as I did when I did it!--Glyn.
