Geocache Description:

As the name indicates, this cache is dedicated to a special phenomenon – the famous Flogsta scream!

In most of the high-rise buildings in Sernanders väg live students from Uppsala University and SLU. Among them many exchange students from all over the world. Each evening at 10pm (22.00 o'clock) students scream from windows, balconies and rooftops. Friday and Saturday are normally the best days to experience the phenomenon, notably after University started again in September. There are different versions of its origin the most told goes that it started as a stress reliever.
Wikipedia articles mention it in English and Swedish (Flogstavrålet). YouTube also has a lot of videos.

This easy little Multi leads a bit through the Flogsta high-rise buildings. Of course, the best time to do this cache is around 10pm when you can also experience the Flogsta scream. A torch might however be helpful. Students – and even more the children from the nearby kindergartens – often have a curious nature so it is advisable to be a bit stealthy and, even though the Final's surrounding might look like a quiet area, please hide the cache well again. Finding it can however become a problem in winter, especially if there is as much snow as during the last one.

Stage 1:
At the given coordinates you will find a sign of Heimstaden, the landlord of the buildings lived in by students. How many of the 16 high-rise buildings belong to Heimstaden? The number is AB.

Stage 2:
Following Sernanders väg from the sign southwards into between the high-rise buildings, you pass by a little bicycle workshop on the ground floor of one of the buildings. Outside it is a sign with the name of the workshop. The name's number of letters minus the building's house number is C.

Stage 3:
Which of the buildings at the western end curve of Sernanders väg has a playground in front? The house number is D.

Final:
Just calculate B+D = F and fill in all the numbers.
N 59° DA.00B E 017° CD.CFA

P.S.
As a little bonus to get an impression of how many students live in the buildings: count the windows on a floor (except the kitchen respectively balcony windows in the middle), multiply them by the number of floors and then by AB. Voilà!

Since my Swedish is quite limited the description is in English only. Feel free to send me a translation and I will publish it. Tack så mycket!
