Geocache Description:


You're sitting in a restaurant in Camps Bay, thinking about your problems. You suddenly realise you don't have any: you've solved all the puzzle ridge caches on the other side of the mountain, the sky is as blue as a blanket from your childhood, the sun is warm on this winter day, and the palm trees remind you of Oahu.

With this lifting of your mood, you look up and are startled to see Magnum, the affable private investigator, sitting at the table next to yours.

He's frowning at a sheet of paper. "Aloha!" you call, and invite him to sit with you and share the reason for his frown.

"It's Higgins," he growls. "On Hawaiian Hide and Seek day, he took the Ferrari, shrunk it down, turned it into a trinket toy that doesn't even look like a Ferrari. He's looking all pleased with himself and said he's hidden it in a place so hallowed that the coordinates for the place are encoded into the physical structure of the universe itself. Then he gave me this weird drawing thing - here, take a look."



Magnum leans forward. Just before he gives you the paper he'd been looking at when you first saw him, you hear him mumble "Alert! The 'paper' I'm about to give you is a pdf file that you can download. It contains further details needed to find this geocache. As the cache owner, I represent that this file is safe to download although it has not been checked by Groundspeak or by the reviewer for possible malicious content. Download this file at your own risk. It is 1.8MB in size. Groundspeak wanted me to tell you this." That sounds reasonable to you, and you take the paper from him.

Magnum relaxes back into his chair, and continues in a more bold, less small-print kind of voice: "Higgins also gave me a clue - he said it's in the southern hemisphere, east of Greenwich. That's why I'm here, this seemed like the best place to start. At least it gets me away from his smug smile and those dogs, and I mean, look at all this - the mountains, the sea, the sun, the sky. It's as good a place as any to be perplexed."

You decide to help Magnum. You begin to study the drawing.
