Geocache Description:

The cache is an Ammo Tin, it contains a log book, pen and plenty of swapables.

To find this you will need to have collected the codes from the other 8 Tin Tin caches.

Ok, so you've found the 8 TinTin caches and now you have (hopefully) the names of 8 of the books in the series. Now all you need to do is a little bit of information searching and some maths!

Firstly, find the book number for each of the 8 books names you have, then do the calculations to find the numbers that make up the final coords. I've added a checker so you know when you've got the right answer.

A - Snowy --- archived A = 20
B - Captain Haddock --- archived B = 4
C - Nestor
D - Thomson and Thompson --- archived D = 8
E - General Alcazar --- archived E = 6
F - Professor Calculus --- archived F = 18
G - Bianca Castafiore
H - Rastapopoulus

S = (H x B) - C
T = (H x E) - F
U = A - (B x C)
V = (B x E) - G
W = (F / E) - H
X = D + C - E
Y = G - F - H
Z = (A - D) / B

Tintin - is a young reporter who is drawn to dangerous international intrigues in which his quick thinking, bravery and chronic good luck save the day. Almost every adventure features Tintin sent off to investigate an assignment, but rarely does he actually turn in a story without first getting caught up in an adventure. Tintin is an intelligent and imaginative character with good powers of deduction. However, while in deep thought, he tends to be absent-minded and fails to notice things around him. He seems to know multiple foreign languages and reads extensively on a variety of subjects. He is skilled at driving automobiles (including a tank), riding horses or motorcycles, and flying aeroplanes and helicopters. Despite his generally delicate and unassuming appearance, Tintin is quite athletic and possesses great physical strength, often getting into fights where he is able to knock out enemies much larger than himself with a single blow. Although he is small as opposed to the other characters, he is an excellent swimmer, has been shown to be a skilled mountaineer, has been shown to do yoga, and can survive falls that would normally cause serious injuries.
