Cul-de-sac Multi-Cache

The cache is available from 10:00 until at dusk.

This multicache, hidden in the Laberint d'Horta park, requires you to go round a hedge maze on the purpose of get the final coordinates.

Geocacher must find an unique number value (from 0 up to 80) fragmented in 4 dead ends in the maze.

The maze, made of hedge and metallic fences, has several dead ends but all you need to find is four coulored and small cable ties (white, black or blue) attached in the fence. Once you find a dead end you will have to look at the bottom left corner of the wall that is in front of you, and try to spot a cable tie attached in a wire of the fence. When you find one of these four cable ties please get accurate coordinates from the exact location and write in the waypoint name or description the color of the wire.

Once the four cable ties are registered in the GPSr the next step is put in order them due to these may be found in a random sort depending the route that the geocacher decided.

It's time to asign an identifier for each value, so switch the map screen in your GPSr, be sure the orientation has the North up and start to watch the waypoints as if you were reading a text document (from top [North] to bottom [South] and read left [West] to right [East]). The first waypoint catched is W, the next one X and so on (Y and Z).

Please see example below:

Next the colors must be replaced by numbers:

For getting a number between 0 and 80 perform the calculation below:

A = (W * 3³) + (X * 3²) + (Y * 3¹) + (Z * 3⁰)

The final coordinates are written in one of the following possible locations:

Finally, the A value indicates the waypoint as the final location.

Have a nice day!
