Geocache Description:

D is the fourth letter in the alphabet, but D can also be a variable with a value between 1 and 100. But most of all, D can stand for Dance!


Alphabet D - Dance

Humans have been dancing since the dawn of time and the pleasure of moving in pace with music or the beating of a drum seem to be part of our genetic heritage. When the music starts, even very small children start to dance, long before they can talk or sing. But this is not something that only humans do. In fact, there are animals that are much more refined in their dancing skills than us humans...




When Bibi the Bee was flying back to the hive she was happy. It was a sunny summer day and she had found vast amounts of nectar and was now looking forward to her great performance that she had rehearsed for so long. Ever since she was a larva she had loved to dance, although it had become much easier after she had developed her legs and wings. And today she had made a discovery that caused her to rush back to the hive immediately, cause now it was finally time to put on the dancing shoes.

She had been studying the sun carefully and flew around the hive several times before she entered and started her dance. The timing was perfect. Sun Time was 13:51:25 so she could do her dance in an exact vertical position with her head pointing right down.

That was her favourite position strangely enough, dancing upside down. But she didn't have to be looking down for very long, because her dance was very short. Although repeated several times, every dance was so short that a blink would make you miss the performance altogether. In milliseconds, it was only 6.4 times D! But that didn't bother Bibi. She was so happy to dance, and the next day she would find even more flowers and be able to do her dance again. .

And she knew that if she ever got the chance to compete in "Let's Dance" on TV4, she would decline the offer. Who wants to dance with amateurs anyway?

Since stage 1 is still missing, take your calculated coordinates and add 0.005 to N and subtract 0.037 from E to go directly to the cache!
