Geocache Description:

I was walking in the area and I saw a small tropical island in the middle of the city, so I said this place needs a cache so here it is.


In order to find this cache you will need to solve an old Chinese puzzle, the Sea Island mathematical puzzle. Look at the Image below and use the following information to find the height of the mountain (AB) and the distance from the mountain to the front pole (BC)

Both poles (C-H) and (E-G) are equal and are 36m high

G-F is 60m long

If you look from the sea level then the distance of the Front pole (C-H) offset (or shadow or to D)  is 36

The distance between the front pole (C-H) to the far edge (F) is 110 m

 

 

The cache is at N 32 05.(AB+31) E 034 48.(BC-59)

 

One important note: The cache is in a extremely muggled environment Please..but Please be careful. I often see other cacher leave a cache exposed after they find it, or taking/retrieving it in a very noisy way. Night time is the best for this cache but if not be stealth, be a good geocacher. It is part of the game !!!
