Geocache Description:


Buddhist Zen Garden
 
 
The listed coordinates will bring you to a quaint little zen garden built next to the Thai Buddhist Society Center.
To solve this multi you must count some rocks and trees that you see within the garden. You should see a nice round centre to the garden. Around the centre you should see 2 concentric circles (O shapes). From now on we will refer to these as CENTRE, INNER CIRCLE and OUTER CIRCLE. There are some incomplete circles beyond these three, but we will not use them here. To clarify, rocks refers only to rocks that are too heavy to lift. Trees refers to trees that are taller than the average human.

Count the number of trees in the outer circle. This number = L
Count the number of rocks in the outer circle. This number = M
Count the number of trees in the inner circle. This number = N
Count the number of rocks in the inner circle. This number = O
Count the number of trees in the centre. This number = P
Count the number of rocks in the centre. This number = Q

Now its time for a little math,

L divided by 3, plus 3 = A
M divided by 13, plus 3 = B
N minus 2, divided by 3 = C
O divided by 2, plus 1 = D
P divided by 2, plus 2 = E
Q multiplied by 2, plus 2 = F

Final coords are

N 13 48.ABC
E 100 33.DEF
