Geocache Description:

Dark Sheep



Landscape Puzzle Nano Cache

Schafe

Sometimes we (and the Man in Dark?) are sleepless at night and start counting sheep ... (or think about dark matter and the weight of the universe).

Simply print the pictures (1-9) of the sheep, cut them out and align them in the right order - (see the table).

Tabelle

There was thought to be one right setup with two solutions (plus you can rotate the setup), but only one of the 8 possibilities is correct! It turns out there is another right setup possible too (adding 8 more solutions). Who said that life with the man in dark is easy?
So look at the numbers in the central cross (i.e. all but the 4 corner ones) and you should have a higher number of even numbers than uneven ones. This helps you to rule out the 2nd setup (and leaves you with 8 possibilities).
Read out the numbers with the help of the table and you will get the final coordinates.

The Cache is at:
N 50° 4 A1, 0 A2 A3´
E 04° 2 B1, B1 B3 A2´

Check your solution here.

Good Luck! - and not too many sleepless (sheep-less?) nights ;-)

PS: And yes, a picture is welcome too with your log - even, if no dark animals are making music there (but a strange dark green life-form is lurking close to the final coordinates).
