Geocache Description:

This is a mystery cache, and the starting coordinates are insignificant – don’t go there! The final coordinates are less than 3 km. away, though.

The mystery itself is a simple logical exercise.

THE STORY

5 local geocachers are each working on a new mystery-cache. They each have a different type of mystery in mind, and they each use a different type of container. Finally, each of their new caches end up with a different rating for difficulty (a number of stars).

 

THE ELEMENTS

  • The Mystery Builders' names are: Dane42 (0), MaMiFKa (1), Naesby (2), Olefant (3) and Xcure (4)
  • The mystery types are:  Anagram Riddle (0), HTML-code (1), Knowledge Quiz (2), Math Exercise (3) and Spoiler Picture (4)
  • The containers are: Nano (0), Bison (1), Petling (2), Flapbox (3) and Ammo-box (4)
  • The difficulties are: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 stars

(The small numbers in paranthesis are for calculations - see below)

 

THE INSTRUCTIONS

At the bottom of this page, you will get 6 pieces of information, that will allow you to match each name with a mystery type, a container and a difficulty. Put the correct combinations into the table below. Then for each row add up the numbers in parenthesis + the difficulties to find the sums A-E ("A" obviously being the top one in the table, "B" being the second and so on). These results for A-E can then be used to calculate the final coordinates.

 

 

 

Example: Let us assume that Dane42 creates a HTML-code mystery and hides a Petling with 5 stars in difficulty. The sum for A would then be 0 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 8.      (THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE – DON’T USE IT TO SOLVE THE ACTUAL TASK.)

 

THE COORDINATES

When you are done the cache is here:

N 55 (A + D + D + E).(B * B * E – (A * A + B + C))     

E 012 (A + B + C + E).(C * D * 2)

 

THE INFORMATION

Got it? OK we are ready to go. Here is the information you need:

  1. Naesby has cleverly hidden the coordinates to his cache in the HTML-code on his cache page. Tricky!
  2. The mystery which leads to finding a Petling is the easiest of them all.
  3. Xcure has applied his devious mind to inventing a horribly difficult 5-star mystery.
  4. The hard-to-find Nano placed by MaMiFKa cannot be found by answering the Knowledge Quiz, which by the way happens to be a difficulty level 2 mystery.
  5. Olefant did not compose a 3-star mystery. Nor did one of the other guys who placed a Bison container. And by the way, that Bison cannot be found by figuring out where the Spoiler Picture of a majestic statue was taken.
  6. The ever popular Ammo-box can be found by solving a humorous Anagram Riddle, which by the way has a difficulty of less than 4 stars.

 

THE CACHE

It is a bison. DONT step onto the road to search. You dont need to, and it may get you killed!

GOOD LUCK!!! Even though you dont need it - logic is enough.
