Geocache Description:

This is the third cache in a small series around the shopping area at Nordby.

While the significant other is shopping at the local shopping eldorado, this small series of caches will give the geocacher something to do. It will also, in some cases, allow the geocacher to run off some steam after the shopping ordeal.

At the given coordinates, there are two parking areas, one covered and one open-air. To locate the cache, you need to identify two numbers:
* The covered parking lanes are numbered with letters, you need to identify the last letter, and note its place in the alphabet (i.e. a=1, b=2, c=3, etc). This number will be called A.
* From waypoint 1, you can see a set of large overhead lights fixed on poles, how many of these can you see around you (we are talking about the large ones, not the smaller ones that there are many of). This number will be called B.

The container is located at N59 03.XXX E011 12.YYY

Where
XXX=(3A+5B)*7 + 5B + 4
YYY=6AB + B + 7

The container includes a log book and a stamp. The stamp is not a trade item and should remain in the box.
