Geocache Description:


Note: You must solve the puzzle cache 'Looking Up' (http://coord.info/GC3PHYB) before you can solve this puzzle.

After staking out all 6 cities successfully, you and your criminal gang have decided to follow through with the plan to rob the only bank in each city. The plan is to enter the city in two groups from different points and meet at the bank for the big heist. Each path has been planned out and handed out to the various criminal groups in your gang.

Things to remember:

  • Use the 'city maps' from 'Looking Up',
  • Your task is to match the paths given on this cache page to the cities from GC3PHYB and mark out the path that is taken by the criminals to get to the bank.
  • After you have matched 2 paths in each city, you will notice that both paths will meet in the same square. This is the bank where the heist will go down. It is also the number that you need for the final coordinates
  • The integer indicates which building they will move to next in relation to the one that they are moving from. For example, If you are starting from a building that is 4 floors, and the first integer is -3, then you would look for an adjacent building that is 1 floor. The next integer might be +5, then you would move to an adjacent building that is 6 floors, etc.  
  • The numbers (+1 -3, etc) indicate the difference in building height when moving from one building to another.
  • Movement can only be made to adjacent buildings. ie, horizontal or vertical. Diagonal moves cannot be made.
  • Remember that you are entering the city from the outside, so all paths must start from a square/building in the outer ring (peripheral building) and move from there.
  • There is only one possible path that matches all integers/height differences. Some come close, but none match all 9 movements.
  • Ignore all the numbers in the arrows. They will not be used in this puzzle.
  • Please contact me if there is any uncertainty about these instructions.
