How Geocaching Works

Please note

Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

The waypoint listed is a placeholder only – you need to do some homework before you can find this cache. The real cache is within 3km of this spot. NOTE: YOU WILL NEED A SPECIAL TOOL TO RETRIEVE THIS CACHE

Puzzles around here are too easy, so it is time to raise the bar a little.

We don’t have a cache that needs a special tool here yet either, so this cache is a test for the puzzle-solving, tool carrying caching geek.

In June 2003 some learned people published document uvw.xyg. You need to find what this document number is, and use the tool it describes.

After your research, solve this simple puzzle:

K = u ÷ 2

L = u + x

M = u

N = u – w

O = v + y

P = y

Q = u - y

R = w + x + y + x

S = w + y + x

T = y- x

Go to 37 KL.MNO, 175 PQ.RST, then use the tool to discover the final co-ordinates.

You are looking for a metal amo can, with themed swaps. Feel free to swap for a non-themed item, or take something anyhow - I will keep the items updated.

Please ensure you re-hide the box well with leaves and sticks. This is a large-ish box for the location, and does not get a lot of visitors, so we need to be carefull to ensure it is not seen by muggles.

I know there are lots of prickles at GZ – they keep the kiddie muggles away – be careful when you grab the needed leaf litter!

One of a series of technology caches in Hamilton. If you enjoy this one, then have a look at GC1PRKD and GC1M8WV
