Then insert that number to a following table:
Now you can get coordinates for the cache like this:
N 6Jº AC.BFD
E 02Hº IG.7KE
Well, how do you know which number to choose? I bet you already know what numbers are J and H and you probably have only two options for A and I. So your chance in this mystery is 1 out of 3 294 172 if you choose randomly.
So, how to get started and getting those odds a bit higher? Maybe you should pray for the right number? Or maybe there is a logical solution after all and you really don't even need to check your coordinates? Figuring out how that probability is calculated can help you solve the mystery. You figure it out, solve the mystery and use GC2F71G's Geochecker to check you didn't make any mistake.
Edit. 31.1.2011.
Related Web Page is actually only explanation, if you are not familiar with the term Alms or Almsgiving. It has nothing to do with the mystery.
I have also recieved feedback about calculating the odds. Let's assume that you know what number is A remembering general geocaching.com guidelines. Following those guidelines you can calculate, that C number has only four options.
Then howabout number I. Theoretically there are two options, but let's say there only one, because I can tell you that number G has only 5 options.
Calculating this way the probability is 1 out of 336 140, but it's still too hard to guess right numbers. So what to do? All hints can be found in the description except "Mystery spoiler", which can be found (virtually) somewhere else with few clicks or typing right words to a certain search field (not Google though).

Difficulty: |
Use parking place that is given when you hit green on Geochecker. There is a short walk to the cache. The cache itself is quite easy to spot and you have a scenic view nearby. Use caution while reaching the cache, rope or similar can be useful. It may also be possible to reach the cache without any equipment if you are very athletic. The cache is available throughout the year, but surfaces can be slippery during winter or rain.
Everybody approaches the cache and climbs with his/her own responsibility!
Cache container size is regular, but waterproof part is only small. Coins and smaller TB's still fit inside smaller container.
Please, no spoilers concerning the cache location!
