A mean multi in many steps but with a nice reward! This Multi Cache will bring you close to Stockholm's highest point (57 meters above the sea level) where you will have a magnificent view over the city of Stockholm. But first you have to take the stairs!

At the starting coordinates, start walking up the stairs and count:

a. The number of steps to Leg 1 (see reference point)
b. The number of remaining steps from Leg 1 to the top of the stairs
c. The number of remaining flights1 from Leg 1 to the top of the stairs
d. The number of steps in the last flight of stairs

Once you're at the top of the stairs, take a moment to walk up the street a short distance and you will have a great view of Stockholm. Here you can sit down, catch your breath, do the math below and then go and log the cache. Please include a photo from the top in your log.

1 Definition: A stair flight is a run of stairs or steps between landings [Wikipedia]

The cache is located at:

N 59 18.NNN
E 18 06.EEE

NNN = 5 * a + b + d
EEE = 4 * a - b + c

Check your solution here:

The accuracy in the geochecker is set to a generous +/- 30 meters, so even if you miss a couple of steps you should still be able to get a green light in the checker and a hint to the cache.
