This is a puzzle cache you need to solve at home before venturing out. The above co-ordinates are for the nearest rail station. You can walk to the cache from here, but some may find it a bit of a trek. There is nothing at the station that will help you solve the puzzle. Can get very muddy.


*** - IMPORTANT - ***

This cache was moved significantly on 2nd August 2009. If you calculated the co-ordinates before this date you will need to recalculate them!

As the cache is now in a completely different location, anyone who found this cache in the old location may log a second find on finding the relocated cache.


You're looking for a particular number, once you have found that number, apply the following to find the co-ordinates of the cache:-

AB = Apart from "00" the only sequence of 2 digits that is repeated within the number.
C  = The eleventh and twelfth digits of this number, multiplyed together.
D = The fourteenth digit of this number.
E  = The number of "0"s in the number divided by the second digit of this number.
F  = The thirteenth digit of this number.
G  = The only digit that does not appear anywhere in this number.
H  = The ninth digit of this number.
J  = The number of times the digit 8 appears in this number.

The cache is located at:-

Tricky puzzle, this: we studied the info, then read all previous logs for any hints of inspiration (from which we found the tiniest smidgen of a suggestion as to what might be involved), re-studied the info, then sat back and stared at the wallpaper, until finally we had our eureka moment! We used a good old google website to do the maths (a calculator would have done, but websites are more fun) and then we set out today on the short walk to this easy find in its great hidey hole. Thanks very much for straining our brains. Left Poffertjes coin, took nothing. [201]

Sorted the puzzle while waiting for the snow to go and did the find today with Cubehouse when out to do the latest local new caches. Nice hide.
Took the two travellers as they have been there too long.

Ay_gee had an idea of how to do this one last week, which turned out to be correct. So we popped out to grab the cache.

I had worked out the coords for a while but as the location is far from home never got around to sign the log.
Today I did and I am glad to be sure that my math were corect.
Thanks to the owner to bring me back yo school.
