Geocache Description:


The Executioner is a scary, but actually rather timid, person. He travels together with the Tax Collector, and his main task is to enforce the payment of the taxes by Hagar and other vikings.

Since his mere appearance does all the work for him, he has some time over to construct clues on how to find hidden treasures along his way. He has hidden one treasure, and created clues using measures of certain objects. However, the vikings did not use centimeters (cm) or millimeters (mm), they used a measurement called Viking Thumbs (vt). One vt equals 24.742 mm. Also, the vikings did not know of decimals, so the calculations are always truncated.

To find the coordinates of the hidden treasure, you have the following:

A = The width of the object, at chest height.
B = The largest horisontal distance between the highest feature and one of its neighbours.
C = The diameter of the object half way from the top.

D = B/6-1
E = B-4*C+2
F = B-A-9
G = B/C-1
H = D-E+5
I = E-H-2

The final coordinates are S 33 45.DEF, E 151 13.GHI.
