Junior Seismologist Mystery Cache

Cache is not hidden in the given coordinates. They are there just to bring you to a right country.

Sensitive devices of the Seismological Central Observatory in Germany have measured some activity in the surface of the Earth. First calculations show that the epicenter of the earthquake was somewhere in Luxembourg. As the magnitude of the earthquake was rather low the Senior seismologist is not interested in calculating the exact coordinates. However he can give you some premilinary results.

Epicenter Map

Graphical presentation of the results from seismographs

Graphical presentation is very difficult to interpret correctly. A special wave analyzer program was used to collect the important parameters into a table

Time indicates the moment when the earthquake was measured at the given station.

For the accuracy reasons they also give you details from one metering point in Belgium.

Waypoint 1

Calculate the coordinates of the epicenter and note down the travelling speed (X = ____ km/s) of the earthquake.

Senior seismologist advice you to use the following assumptions:

• This type of earthquake travels at a constant speed on the surface of the Earth.
• Use WGS84 standard to model the Earth
• Vicenty knows how to calculate distances

At the Waypoint 1 you will find a house that has a specific sign beside it’s door. Note down the number of the house ( N = ____ ).
Other side of the street there are two years on the wall. Count the difference (Y = ____ ) between these years.

Waypoint 2

Go to coordinates
N 49° [2*N + 1].[X*(Y - 2)]
E006° [(N + Y)/14].[(X + 1)*(Y - 3)]

At the Waypoint 2 you will find an Infopanel about this place.

Search answer for the following question:

Temperature inside ( T = ___ )

Final

Go to coordinates
N49° 39.[100*X - 4*T - 1]
E006° 08.[100*X + 5*T + 5]

and search for the box

The direct Way to the final ist overgrown and diffictult , it's easier if you loop via the right !

Good luck for your search.
