Geocache Description:

After GC5PBJQ, GC5PZTD and GC5Q84M this fourth Mystery dealing with bridges will terminate the series. There's no container at the given coords, solve first the brain twister by some out of the box thinking - BYOP.


This time not only easy peasy identifying of some nice bridges. In order to find "The weird one" some out of the box thinking will be necessary. Find (consider) the first 9 "bridge related" items/pictures and forget all the other even if they match with the given theme. This geocache has no link and/or relation to "Ponts et Chaussées", the Luxembourg civil servant department (Administration des Pont et Chaussées) in charge of the motorways (including tunnels and street lighting equipment), any identified similarities would be of pure coincidence.


01. According to you... does this first picture respond to the given theme on bridges - if so, consider the second letter of its English name.


02. If you think that this picture holds the first hidden X-code - take the first digit of the postal code (zip code) of the city in relation to.


03. A very nice bridge, isn't it. Could be a tricky or a wrong piece of information, nevertheless if you think it holds one of the secret X-codes - consider the difference between "10" and "8".


04. Should this shoot point a subject we're looking for - take the checksum of the year "its construction" was completed.


05. If you recognize here a bridge I was perhaps thinking of - take the total number of letters of the name without counting "Bridge".


06. Does this picture hold a hidden X-code - take the first letter in English of the river it crosses.


07. Do you see the bridge just around the corner - take the last digit of the year of its opening.


08. This is your easy peasy point, isn't it - take the checksum of the year they started to build this bridge.


09. Do you recognize perhaps a bridge people dislike - if so, take N's checksum.


10. One for the ladies..., just kidding. If compliant to the mystery's theme - take the number of letters in the German name.


11. To me it seems obvious (perhaps weird), if you agree - take the number of letters in the first part of the French name, if not skip it and check the next item.


12. To bridge or not to bridge, that's the question - if you recognize it, please consider only n's checksum.


13. If you haven't yet found the 9 keys to the cache, this easy peasy item/picture may help you by counting the number of spans of the bridge - in case of, take only the last digit of the number.


14. If this building can be considered as bridge, the code to be returned is " 5 ", if not use a "Zero" as code for X.


15. Once again an easy peasy point in case you haven't already the nine required codes. How many fully completed years did it take to achieve this bridge? - Gimme the checksum.


16. Two possibilities left in case you haven't already got all the necessary codes - give me the first letter in the German name of this kind of bridge.


17. A very nice bridge I visited last summer, please return the checksum of the total number of letters (only letters, no signs) in the full name of the bridge (in its local language) not the name of the city but the official name.


Now go for the No No-Nano at:

N 49 "X1""X2". "X3" "X4" "X5"

E 006 "0""X6" . "X7" "X8" "X9"
