Elephant Parade Copenhagen


June 1st - August 25th 2011In the summer of 2011, Copenhagen will host one of the largest outdoor art exhibitions ever held in Denmark. The exhibition is comprised of 102 unique works of art which will be exhibited publicly in parks and streets in central Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. It is colorful, humorous and positive quality art, created by prominent Danish and international artists as well as young rising stars.

At the center of the exhibition are 102 baby elephants, cast in fiberglass. They will decorate the cityscape and contribute to the city’s renowned atmosphere, providing another attraction for its citizens and the over three million tourists who visit Copenhagen every year. When the exhibition is over, the elephants will be auctioned off by Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers, with the proceeds going to the preservation of the Asian elephant.

The Asian Elephant:
In the last 100 years, the number of Asian elephants in existence has fallen by 90%. Approximately 150,000 Asian elephants have died within the past 25 years and today there are fewer than 35,000 of these animals left in all of Asia. In Thailand there are only 4,000 elephants left, with only 1,500 living in the wild. Unless we act now, the Asian elephant will be extinct within a few decades.

(New info: 2 off my Elephants have gone for a walkabout so i have found 2 new ones.)

The Cache: (This cache has a time limit and will be archived after the 25th of August 2011)
To find the cache you will have to take a walk in i Copenhagen to find 9 of the Elephants for clues to the the position of the Cache. I am guestemating that this will take 2 hours ish to find all the Elephants. The final coordinates are within 3 km of the starting position. Most of the Elephants lie within the old city walls. I recommend that you take a camera a long on the chase so you can better keep track of the clues. And so you can have pictures of all the beautiful eliphants.

1. In front of the left foot there is a plack, and i need you to take the fourth (4) letter in the first name of the sponsor.

Elephant1

2. I have found a new Elephant for #2.
When you stand in front of this Elephant you will see a street name sign be hind him, some one has but a sticker on it and on the sticker there are 4 digits. You take the last one and multiply it with 2.

Elephant2
3. When you stand in front of the Elephant, you will see to your left,  a building, in that building is a convenient store. Take the digits associated with that store.( The elephant has come home from his walkabout and his subtitute has is gone for a walk.)

4. This Elephant is looking at a house, and on top of the door is a number. Take that number and multiply it with 2 then subtract 1. ( I have made changes from the original, the first Elephant has gone for a walkabout so i had to find one near were the first one stood.)

5. On the right side of this superhero you will find a statue. Find the plack and note the last digit in the year of it's placing. (opstillet)

6. This fine Elephant is taking a rest in front of a big building, now walk to the opposite corner of the building you will see embedded sculpture in the wall of a man and a woman. You will see a year, note the second digit in that year.

Elephant6

7. When you find this Elephant, stand by his head and find 35° and about 15m from his head you will find a sign. On that sign are 3 columns, in the middle one, on the bottom line are 2 digit's, take the last one.

Elephant7

8. This fine wine Elephant is looking at a gate, on top of the gate is a name. Take the 5th letter. And convert it from Roman numerals, keep the first number.

Elephant8

9. Behind this great Dane is a building, little to the left and up you will see a year in Roman numerals, take the second letter. Now convert it to numbers. But only keep the last number.

 Elephant9

 

Now you have collected all the numbers and letters you need to solve this Cache. Next you need to do a Gade

The digits you have found shall be sorted in ascending order i.e:
If the numbers are 6, 17, 9 and 6 put the numbers like this:
16679 and fulfill the row of digits with the missing digits 16679023458 now you can assign letters:
a=1, b=6, c=6, d=7, e=9, f=0, g=2, h=3, i=4, j=5 & k=8
This was just an example.

Now you have to do the same with your numbers.

And you will find the Cache at:

55 4(B+C-F).(H-E)A(N-D)
012 3(K-J).L(I-A)(I-J)

The cahce holds only a log and has no room for any thing else.

Will send FTF certificate Via Email if whanted.

(Note: I do not have any thing personally to do with The Elephant Parade but wanted to make people a ware bout the Asian Elephant and to try and help in my own way.)
