Geocache Description:

This is a 3 step multicache.
The cache size is a double film canister
You will need trigonometry mathematic skills to solve the multicache. Especially on Pythagorean theorem.
You can find more information on Pythagorean theorem on wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

Information updated 2012-06-08 both the startsign and the rotating sign is not there anymore. New information is available to get to the destination. For some reason is the information sign of the watercleaning removed. I have attached some images of the sign for information about the construction.
At the start coordinates (N59 20.602 E18 00.518) you will find a information sign about the cleaning of the water from the motorway ”essingeleden”. In the lower left corner there is an blue square with an item list. The number of items in the item list is a.
New information: a is the number of corners on the nearest building.

xxx=a*111
yyy=a*192

The second position: N59 20.xxx E18 00.yyy

At the second position look at direction 160 Degrees and you will find a rotating sign. The sign has a clock on one side and some letters on the other side. The number of letters is b.
New information: b is the number of constructions holding the road tolls across the road from one side to the other side

Now you need to use your skills of Pythagorean theorem.
a is the length of the first cathetus in a triangle. b is the length of the other cathetus in the triangle. Calculate the length of the hypotenuse in the triangle. The length of this side is c.

nnn=a*b*c*10 + 97
mmm=c*100 – 28

The cache position: N59 20.nnn E18 00.mmm
