The objective of this cache is to
show you a very quiet place that is now a shadow of what it used to
be !
Once you get there take some
time to drive/walk around and imagine it a few decades ago… I left
some “points of interest coordinates” inside the final cache to
help.
Now the hunt
!
This coordinates will take you to a
park were you must find the following 5 structures to obtain the
hints to waypoint 2.
The most distant structure is only
110 m from the given coordinates.
You don't necessarily need to
follow this order to achieve your goal.
See the attached pictures to help
you find the structures.
Toma d' Água
Beside the Toma d'Água there is a
train painted on the tiles. What is the number on the train chimney
?
The answer is your variable A
Example: if the number is 0962 , then A =
0962
Pinheirinhos
In the plaque in front of the well
there is a price, assume the comma as a variable
separation.
The answers are your variables B ,
C
Example: if price is
25,45
; then B
= 25
and
C = 45
Bebedouro
In the watering place you will see
lots of number. What is their total ?
The answer is your variable D
Example: if the numbers are 1; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 , the total is
1+2+3+4+5 = 15 , then D = 15
Chafariz
Find the date in this
fountain.
The answers are your variables
E ,
F and G
Example: if date is
22-7-1940
, then E
= 22
, F =
7
and G =
1940
Busto
In José Maria dos Santos bust there
are three dates, his birth (Nascimento) , death (Falecimento) and
homage (homenagem).
The answers are your variables
H
,
I
,
J
Example:
N. 1800
- F. 1850
Homage
- July
1900
then H =
1800
, I =
1850 and then
J = 1900
Now it is time
for some math !!
Waypoint 2 is
:
North P
º Q ,
R
West
S º
T , U
Were
:
P = D / 3 – E
Q = G – I
R =
B x C – A –
Q
S = F –
1
T = J –
H – C
U = ( T + 2 ) x
E + D
Done
? Do you want to make
sure you have it right ? Well… Waypoint 2 is 3850 meters away from
the given coordinates.
