Geocache Description:


Look outside, what a beautiful day!
Would you like to Come Play With Me?

Grab the kids, frisbee, picnic blanket and whatever and come and take a look around some of the lovely parks & playgrounds in the southern areas of Adelaide.

Starting at the coordinates given, answer the questions under Playground 1. Apply your answers to the coordinates of the playground your currently at. This will give you the coordinates for the next playground. Proceed to that location then, using these new coordinates, answer the questions under Playground 2. Keep doing this for all six playgrounds using each new playground's coordinates to work out where the next playground is and so on. Each completed playground will lead you to the next and eventually to the cache.

NB: With letters placed together like, eg. AB or EFDC, all you have to do is place the corresponding numbers together in the same order as the letters. For example, if A = 24 and B = 13 then AB = 2413

Checksum is the sum of your answers added together for each playground.

---------------
Playground 1: (Wooden Playground Only)

A = How many mirrors in the playground?
B = How many bench seats along the perimeter fence not under cover? Now multiply by 2.
C = How many green tube slides?
D = How many metal 'teardrop' shaped rings hanging from the chains?

Checksum: 39

Part 1: Take D and subtract A, then add B, then add C, then multiply by B, then multiply by C.
Part 2: Take D and multiply by B, then add D.
Part 3: Take D and multiply by B, then add C.

Latitude:
Add part 1 to part 2 then divide by 1000.
Now add your answer to the latitude minutes.

Longitude:
Add part 1 to part 3 then divide by 1000.
Now add your answer to the longitude minutes.

Now enter the latitude and longitude you've worked out into your GPS.
If correct it will guide you to the next playground.

---------------
Playground 2: (Note: Park goes to river's edge)

A = How many silver steps on the yellow stairway on the playground?
B = How many 3"x3" uprights supporting the structure (Blue with yellow caps) on the playground?
C = How many letters in the name beginning with "F" on the small green tunnel?
D = How many BBQ hotplates in the park?
E = How many slippery slide positions on the playground?
F = How many picnic tables in the park?

Checksum: 55

Latitude:
Take AB and subtract C, then subtract D, then subtract A, then divide by 100.
Now subtract your answer from the latitude minutes.

Longitude:
Take EFDC then divide by 1000.
Now add your answer to the longitude minutes.

Now enter the latitude and longitude you've worked out into your GPS.
If correct it will guide you to the next playground.

---------------
Playground 3:

A = How many planks of wood on the bridge on the playground?
B = How many rungs on the monkey bar?
C = How many firemen poles?
D = How many yellow metal hand holders/grips on the playground? Now add 1 to this number.

Checksum: 43

Latitude:
Take A and multiply by B, then multiply by C, then multiply C, then add B, then multiply by C, then divide by 1000.
Now subtract your answer from the latitude minutes.

Longitude:
Take D and multiply by C, then add C. Now behind this answer place A (making a 4 digit number) then divide this new number by 1000.
Now subtract your answer from the longitude minutes.

Now enter the latitude and longitude you've worked out into your GPS.
If correct it will guide you to the next playground.

---------------
Playground 4:

A = How many spokes in the large yellow wheel that sits on top of the pole?
B = How many letters in the name beginning with "F" on the seesaw?
C = How many large round holes does the brick have in the top corner of the BBQ closest to the playground?
D = How many slippery slide positions on the playground?

Checksum: 18

Latitude:
Part 1: Take A and multiply by B, then add C, then add D.
Part 2: Take A and multiply by B, then add C, then add D, then add D.
Place part 2 behind part 1 making a 4 digit number. Now divide by 1000.
Now subtract your answer from the latitude minutes.

Longitude:
Part 1: Take D and add D, then multiply by A.
Part 2: Take A and add B, then add C, then add C, then multiply by C.
Place part 2 behind part 1 making a 4 digit number. Now divide by 1000.
Now add your answer to the longitude minutes.

Now enter the latitude and longitude you've worked out into your GPS.
If correct it will guide you to the next playground.

---------------
Playground 5:

A = How many black 'baskets' in the playground?
B = How many rubber tyres?
C = How many blocks of wood in the vertical stack? Now multiply by 2.
D = How many spokes on top of the tall metal pole? Now add 1 to this number.

Checksum: 27

Latitude:
Part 1: Take A and multiply by B, then multiply by C, then multiply by C.
Part 2: Take A and multiply by D, then add A.
Add part 2 to part 1. Now divide by 1000.
Now add your answer to the latitude minutes.

Longitude:
Part 1: Take C and multiply by C, then multiply by C, then multiply by B.
Part 2: Take C and multiply by C, then multiply by A, then subtract C, then subtract A, then multiply by B, then subtract C, then add B.
Add part 2 to part 1. Now divide by 1000.
Now add your answer to the longitude minutes.

Now enter the latitude and longitude you've worked out into your GPS.
If correct it will guide you to the next playground.

---------------
Playground 6:

A = How many rungs on the monkey bar?
B = How many swing sets?
C = How many slippery slides?
D = How many picnic tables?

Checksum: 18

Latitude:
Take A and multiply by A, then subtract B. Now divide by 1000.
Now subtract your answer from the latitude minutes.

Longitude:
Take B and multiply by C, then multiply by D, then subtract A. Now divide by 1000.
Now subtract your answer from the longitude minutes.

Now enter the latitude and longitude you've worked out into your GPS.
If correct it will guide you to the cache.
