Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates. But the cache is still hidden in Hong Kong Park.

Norwegian Wood is a song by the Beatles, mainly written by John Lennon, with the middle eight co-written with Paul McCartney, released on the 1965 album Rubber Soul. The song is described by writer Mark Lewisohn as "pure Lennon genius ... one of the most original pop music songs recorded to date", and by music critic Richie Unterberger as "undoubtedly the Beatles' greatest lyrical triumph during their folk-rock phase". In 2004, "Norwegian Wood" was ranked number 83 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Norwegian Wood is also a 1987 novel by Japanese author Haruki Murakami (村上春樹). One of my favourite novel! The novel is a nostalgic story of loss and sexuality. The story's protagonist and narrator is Toru Watanabe(渡邊徹), who looks back on his days as a college student living in Tokyo. Through Toru's reminiscences we see him develop relationships with two very different women — the beautiful yet emotionally troubled Naoko(直子), and the outgoing, lively Midori(綠子). Norwegian Wood was hugely popular with Japanese youth and made Murakami something of a superstar in his native country.



However, the puzzle is NOT related to the song and the novel. It is just a Primary School level geometry problem.



It is a standard Norway national flag. The question is:
If area of the flag = 220 cm², then
Area of red = ABC cm²
Area of blue = DE cm²
Area of white = FG cm²

The Final location:
N 22° 16.(A+E)(C-B)(D+G)
E 114° 9.(A+C)(E+F)(B-A)
