Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the Commuter Cache group placed along all three routes of the Sheffield Supertram- see the whole of Sheffield on one caching route!!!

There are puzzle caches dotted throughout the route in order to keep you active in both mind and body.

Enjoy!!!

p.s. This series will be a test of your stealth skills as these areas are generally very busy, so you must be as subtle as possible. (We found ourselves 'tying our shoes' a lot)

A pair of caching tweezers will also be an essential on this route as there are a few nano's about.



The co-ordinates can be calculated using the fromula below.


N ([ATG]x[GAT]+[GCG]), ([GTA]X[CGC]-[TCA]).0([ACA]X[CAG]-[GAC])

W 00[GCA], ([CTT]X[AAC]-[GAT).(([TGG]X[TGT]+[CCC]-[TTT])X[ATC])

where

Ala=1 Arg=2 Asn=3

Asp=4 Cys=5 Gln=6

Glu=7 Gly=8 His=9

Ile=10 Leu=11 Lys=12

Met=13 Phe=14 Pro=15

Ser=16 Thr=17 Trp=18

Tyr=19 Val=20 Stop=21


Once you have figured out how to do the co-ordinates puzzle, a simple game of substitution is required using the information given in order to calculate the co-ordinates.

If the puzzle stumps you, the helpful hint below may help you figure out what it's all about.
