THE PUZZLE
In the large factory of Acme Road Signs plc, where all of our road signs are made, the shift supervisor, Mr Noel Efturn, watches as lots of triangles and circles are cut out of sheets of metal and painted, and loaded onto pallets once they're ready. From Mr Efturn's vantage point, he can see seven such pallets, each full of one particular roadsign, arranged in a line from left to right.
The pallets weren't arranged in that order though. All you need to do is work out which order they go in, based on the following clues:
- The pallet of "Wild Animals" signs is to the left of "No Right Turn" and to the right of "Two way traffic crosses one-way street".
- "Mini-roundabout" is to the left of "Clearway"
-"Staggered Junction" is immediately to the left of "Wild Animals" and immediately to the right of "No overtaking".
-"Clearway" is immediately to the right of "Two way traffic crosses one-way street". The latter has another pallet of signs on its left.
You should be able to work out which sign goes where from these clues. In order to find the cache, simply work out the position of the "Clearway" signs, (with 1 as the extreme left and 7 as the extreme right), and go to the appropriately-numbered give way sign.
MORE INFO ON THE CACHE
You're looking for a nano. Please bring your own pen. Major stealth required.
Six of the seven give way signs are on traffic peninsulas (the word I've just made up for a bit of pavement that sticks right out into the road) so can be reached from the pavement, the seventh is on a small traffic island.
The cache is not suitable for geokids I'm afraid due to the proximity to busy road.
The cache is of a certain height so may not be suitable for wheelchair users either.
Please park and hunt with consideration to local residents.
