Geocache Description:

Rather than sit at home solving a puzzle or have a predetermined walk to go on this cache is much more of a hunt.  I've taken 12 photographs in Leeds city centre and these objects need to be found in order answer the questions below each picture to unravel the co-ordinates. 


 For the purpose of this cache I've defined Leeds centre as follows.

No futher North than The Headrow

No further East than Vicar Lane

No further South than Boar Lane

No further West than Park Row.

 

You will not need to cross any of these roads, although you still may need to walk along them!  All photographs are also placed outdoors and accessible 24/7. There is nothing inside and shopping centres or arcades. Again there may be outside still. Good Luck

 


01 = How many stars is this statue holding in her right hand?  (A)


 


02 = How many metal pillars are coming up from the ground? (B)



03 = Directly above this sign is an oval shaped window.  How many panes of glass are in it? (C) 



04 = There is a Year beneath this decoration?  Add the last two digits together (D)



05 = In what year was the cement patented. Use the final digit (E)


 


06 = What is the final number here?- (F)



07 = Beneath and to the right of this gargoyle is a letter box.  Number what is the first digit of the 2 digit number.(G)

11 = (L) note: 12/11/15 - These glass arches have been removed. if you see the metal bars where they should be count them and divide by 2. I'll try and get a new photo with same answer ASAP.



12 = For how many years was Hey in front rank of surgeons? use the 2nd digit (M)


Finally here comes the maths part.......
