Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. The posted coordinates are at the entrance to the Schrödinger building in the University of Limerick.

You will need to visit this location to gather information required to calculate the final coordinates.

Parking is available around the university. However, during normal working hours during term, it can be very difficult to find parking place. Be warned that clamping is is operation.


The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935 devised a thought experiment. He proposed a scenario with a cat in a sealed box, wherein the cat's life or death depended on the state of a radioactive atom, whether it had decayed and emitted radiation or not. According to Schrödinger, the Copenhagen interpretation implies that the cat remains both alive and dead until the box is opened.

The Schrödinger's cache may or may not exist. When you solve the puzzle, you will find the coordinates of a cache container. Until such time as you open the container, you cannot tell if the cache is present or not.

The image below, when decoded will provide coordinates. Enter these coordinates into the checker and you will be given further instructions for converting these into the final coordinates.

BYOP to sign the log, if it exists.

Solve the puzzle and you might (or might not) find the cache.

Congratulations to GreenBug and danunaholly for FTF less than a day after being published.

The checker will only turn green when you have entered the coordinates adjusted by offsets obtained by visiting the posted site. You then might find the cache at the adjusted coordinates.
