Geocache Description:


Ein Bauer hatte zwei Söhne
The title of this cache is the first sentence from a story I didn’t like at all when I first had to read it. But since the very beginning of my cacher activities, my thoughts inevitabely wander to this tale as it is about searching and not finding and searching again and never stop searching and finally finding.
I do not translate the text (my excuses to those who don’t understand German) , but I just give you some passages which may help you to solve the riddle. It would be a good idea to show the text to someone who went to primary school in Luxemburg during the sixties.
Ein Bauer hatte zwei Söhne. Der Älteste……
….Bei Ohm Schlichterich sass Christoph, der Träumer, am liebsten. …
… Ohm Schlichterich aber redete seinem gläubigen Zuhörer noch von einem grösseren Schatz…
…Jahre kamen und gingen…
… Nur die verwahrloste Halde … behielt er als sein Eigentum….
… Auch der Ohm Schlichterich schlief den letzten Schlaf … Die Muhme aber lebte noch. … Der Ohm hat eine Botschaft an dich hinterlassen, sagte sie. … Sag ihm, er müsse tief graben. …
… Christoph, bald werde ich zu meinem Manne hinübergehen. Mir träumte diese Nacht von ihm und von dir. Er lässt dir sagen, du müsstest noch tiefer graben!...
…Dann stiess er einen Freudenruf aus: XXXXX!...

To calculate the cache coords , you must answer three questions:
What did Christophe search and find (in German)? You convert the letters to numbers and add them all (no checksum) A = - -
Who is the author of the text? You convert the letters of his last name to numbers and add them all ( no checksum) B = - -
In which year was written this story? double checksum: C = -
The stash is at
N49°48. ((3 + C) x (A + B)) + 9
E005°57.((B/(4 x C)) x A) - 4
