Koordinaterne i denne serie af cacher er ikke koordinaterne på selve cacheboksen, men på en bekvem parkeringsplads i nærheden. For at finde cachen skal man dechifrere en kodet meddelelse hvor den resulterende tekst er på engelsk. Det kan også blive nødvendigt at søge visse informationer på internettet. Da disse informationer næsten udelukkende findes på engelsk, så er man nødt til at kunne læse og forstå engelsk. Resten af cachebeskrivelsen er derfor på engelsk.
This is a Mystery/Puzzle cache. The coordinates of this cache are not the coordinates of the cachebox, but they will lead you to a convenient parking area.
The cachebox is a 2,5 litre rubbermaid container hidden in a nice little forest called “Babyloneskoven”. It contains a logbook, a pencil, a FFC and some trading items.
With the invention of radiotelegraphy, the need to send enciphered messages grew. The manual work involved to encipher and decipher a message was considerable. In 1918, the German inventor Arthur Scherbius invented a machine that could do the job much faster (and safer). It consist of a number of electrical circuits connected to a keyboard and a lampboard. Once a key is pressed, one of the lamps will light up, giving the enciphered equivalent of the letter. He named the machine: 
The beauty of the Enigma machine is that it changes its setting each time a key has been pressed. The electrical circuit will rotate and the machine will use a different setting for the next letter. The process is reversible; passing the ciphertext through a machine with the same setting will yield the original message. All the sender and receiver of the message need to agree on is the initial setting of the machine – the key. There are around 10000000000000000 different settings, even if the “enemy” got hold of a machine, he should not be able to read a message without knowing the key. The machine was sold in great number, more than 30000, to the German military during World War II.
As early as 1928, the Poles intercepted a machine being send to the German embassy in Warsaw. They examined it, and in 1932 they succeeded to decipher the German Enigma signals using an electromechanical machine called a “Bomba”. In 1939, shortly before the invasion of Poland, they gave the French and the British intelligence services replicas of the Polish made Enigmas together with drawings and information on the Bomba. The British set up a team in Bletchley Park that managed to refine the methods and keep up with the modifications that was made on the Enigma. They continued to decipher German communication throughout the war, and there is no evidence that the Germans ever suspected it.
The ciphertext below is enciphered using an Enigma machine with this method and the Puzzle is to decipher it with the key in order to get the plaintext leading to the cache. The Mystery is how to find the key. Unless you can crack the ciphertext, you will have to look for clues in other caches.
The logbook contains keys to other caches in the CCC-series. I have decided to make it easier for you: If you can decipher this cache, you can now decipher the text here to obtain the keys without going to the cachesite first.
