Geocache Description:

The Vikings are celebrating 10 years of geocaching by placing a series of 5 caches. This is Viking Cache #2. VC1# - VC4# contain clues to be able to find VC5#. The clue is a four digit number which can be found in (or on) the cache – VC2# - EFGH. The cache is a camoflaged micro and should not be difficult to find.

Bring your own pen!


A Viking family in Stockholm suffered the shock of a lifetime when they discovered that the 'kitchen mouse' that had their cat running around in circles was in fact a gigantic monster rat.The family first noticed something was wrong when their cat Enok refused to enter the kitchen. They did not discover their gigantic guest until it was time to take out the bins. It was so huge that they barely saw what it was.

The rat had made itself comfortable behind the dishwasher and even caused a leak by chewing its way through the water pipes.Despite attempts to scare the rodent, the ‘Viking rat’ only grew bolder and eventually dared to venture out on the kitchen floor.

Exterminators were called in and placed industry-sized traps to catch the rat, and less than a day later one of them snapped. However, the trap was gone! The rat was so powerful that it had carried the trap with it, snapped around its neck. It didn’t die when it went into the trap, but scurried away underneath a wooden plant, where it got stuck and choked itself to death.It was the biggest rat they have ever seen, measuring 39.5 centimeters (without its tail) and it looked like it was in good shape as the fur was nice.

To get the final coords you need to answer a few questions about rats (ie Rattus norvegicus, which is the common Viking rat). Once all the questions have been answered, count the number of A, B and C answers.

The cache is hidden at S33 46.(A-1) (C-1) (B-C) - E151 14.(B-1)(A+B+C+3)

Do not remove the camoflage when you find the cache. The container will be revealed if you pull. You can check your answer for this puzzle here
