Geocache Description:


Attention! The cache is not located at the above coordinates. To find the location of the cache, you need to solve the following puzzle. The cache is located in the San Rossore Park, which closes at 7pm. Most of the park is accessible only through guided tours, but the cache is located in the part that is freely accessibile, not far from the road that leads to the seaside villa of the President of Italy.
Attention: If the people at the entrance of the park say that the park is open only on Saturday and Sunday, you can tell them that you are going to 'La Sterpaia'. That part of the park you can go to on any day.


During the 2008 Olympics you are going on a sightseeing trip with three Chinese friends. You come across a long, old bridge that can only hold 2 people at the same time. It is dark already and you only brought one torch. The torch is always needed when walking on the bridge, so it must be brought back and forth. You and your friends all walk at different speeds and a pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man:
Chin takes 1 minute to cross
Ying takes 2 minutes to cross
Ming takes 5 minutes to cross
You take 10 minutes to cross
For example, if you and Ming walk across first, it takes 10 minutes to cross the bridge. If Ming then returns with the torch, a total of 15 minutes will have passed. How many minutes will it take at a minimum before all four of you are on the other side of the bridge? Answer = 'bc'
