To solve the puzzle you need to work out the coordinates of twelve waypoints. S42° and E147° are a given. You need to work out the rest.
Each waypoint is represented in the graphic below. There are no secret codes or cryptographic ciphers.
At each waypoint location you will find an object – “X” marks the spot. Once you have found one of the objects you will know exactly what you are looking for at the other waypoints. Each waypoint should be clearly visible at ground level without moving anything.
You need to record the waypoint number and the letter inscribed on the bottom of each waypoint. Where two letters could be easily confused (such as N and Z), the letter will be underlined.
Once you have all the letters, you need to send an email to:
dna.cache.puzzles@gmail.com
The body of the email must contain each of the letters you found at each waypoint in the correct order and without any spaces. It doesn’t matter if you use uppercase or lowercase. e.g. if the letters in the correct order are HQABVXUIMP you should put HQABVXUIMP or hqabvxuimp in the email. It doesn’t matter if there are extra words in your email.
You will receive an automatic reply within a few minutes giving you the coordinates for GZ or a message telling you to try again.
