Brainiac
The published
coordinates are bogus (it is a nice place to park your car). This
is my first own cache, located close to where I live. After having
found my 150th cache I thought it was about time to make one
myself. I appreciate every comment and suggestion for
improvement.
To find this cache
you will need to take a short walk along a pleasant trail through
the forest. The cache is a hard plastic box. It originally contains
several items, including a travel bug. Please ensure it is well
hidden when you leave, and look out for muggles!
The Brain Teasers
To find the cache you have to solve the
next two puzzles:
Three car addicts have just returned from
the car show in Amsterdam
where they each purchased a supercar in a certain color. Can you
work
out which car each person bought, in what color and how much each
car costs, $500.000, $600.000, $800.000?
- Peter didn't buy the cheapest car and it
wasn't a Porsche.
- The red car was a Bugatti and was cheaper
than the one bought by Stefan.
- Marco didn't buy a green car.
- The most expensive car had the color
silver, but wasn't a Ferrari.
| Person |

$500.000 |

|
$600.000 |

$800.000 |
A part of the coordinates to the cache can
be found by substituting the first digit of the corresponding price
(i.e. 5, 6 or 8) to the letter of each event below:
- A = Bugatti's price
- B = Peter's car price
- C = Silver car price
- D = Marco's car price
A block of wood in the form of a
rectangular cuboid 5cm x 11cm x 19cm has all its six faces painted
blue. If the wooden block is cut into 1045 cubes of 1cm x 1cm x
1cm, how many of these would have blue paint on them?
Answer: EFG
Now you can find the cache at:
N 51°
4A.BCD’ - E 006° 06.EFG’
Keep the following in
mind
- The cache is a small box.
- Try to log the cache without being
spotted.
- The given coordinate is fake (parking
space), but the real coordinate within 1000 meters of this
point.
- It can be busy on warm and sunny days. So
watch out for mugglers.
- The walk is about 300 meter, if you have
placed your car on the parking space indicated. Please don't add
any spoilers in your log.
