Geocache Description:

The cache is not placed on the coordinates, but in a place nearby. This cache description is all in English. The word puzzle would give no meaning in Danish.

OBS OBS You must first solve the puzzle and then go to the geotjekker to see the exact position of the cache.

From 1970 to 1975 hard rock was born and Århus was the place to go to see and hear. The puzzle in this cache is to find ten world famous hard rock bands, which all gave concerts in Århus in this period. And I was there ..

All the bands are well known even to day and they are all from US or UK. Find the band names and put them in the white cells in the table.

  1. Known for cloying humility and insincerity in a Charlie universe and for easy living ..
  2. They were wild, surely born like that. Therefore always ready to go by magic carpet ..
  3. With these guys around you’ll feel the noise far, far away ..
  4. Brick thick and still not too old to Rock n roll and still far too young to die ..
  5. Forbidden brown stuff never gave these guys satisfaction or ..?
  6. Ever white and pale even in the shade ..
  7. Just forty cents more would make them happy ..
  8. Named after an ancient creature and ready to get it on ..
  9. After not one but several decades they must be home by now ..
  10. These fellows predicted this cache some thirty years ago..


Derive digits from the table by counting the occurrences of a letter. F.x. if you find the letter 'e' in the table 5 times: e = 5

The cache is here
N 56 e-s.e*r+r*o+a*o-s*t+5
E 010 e-s.e*r*t-s*a*o+106

OBS OBS You must go to the geotjekker to see the exact position of the cache.

The puzzle is inspired from the cache 10 Gåder by ninasger (GC11NDE). Thanks to ninasger.

From the start the cache holds only a logbook, while it is a “no trade” cache, and only TB's allowed. Other objects in the cache will be removed. FFC will be sent by e-mail, or in hard copy if the lucky or wise person mails me her/his snailmail address. Please write in log if you were able to solve the puzzle with no aids.
