Geocache Description:

N.B. TWEEZERS AND LOGSHEET ROLLER STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

On a brick wall, visible from the initial waypoint, there is a piece of faded, stencilled graffiti. I first saw it here over 20 years ago. I've no idea when it appeared, or what it means. It asks an intriguing question, which you do not need to answer. The questions you must answer are given below. Good luck!

The cache, a magnetic micro, can be found at the location matching these co-ordinates:

N 51° 31.AB6 E 000° 27.CD9

Substitute the letters ABCD by answering the following questions. If (like me) you are mathematically pedantic, then for "A" and "D" feel free to round your answer up to the nearest whole number!

  • A: How many question marks? (full or partial)
  • B: How many times does the letter "T" appear?
  • C: How many times does the letter "G" appear?
  • D: How many rows of bricks (full or partial) does the graffiti span?

The cache contains only a logsheet, so please bring a pen or pencil.
