Inspired by the veteran cache by Linden from the Russian geocaching game (Linden’s cache)
"Bulls and Cows" is an old international code-breaking game.
The idea is to guess a secret word (or number).
Read about the game here: Bulls&Cows
Now, there in a secret 5-letter word, in which all letters are different. You are offered nine tries to guess the word (you may not use all of them). At each try, you are provided with a 5-letter probe word and a “comment” showing how many letters in the probe word match the letters in the secret word. If the matching letters are in their right positions, they are "bulls" (B), if in different positions, they are "cows" (C). Example:
- Secret word: POWER
- Probe word: HOUSE
- Comment: B1(1 bull), C1 (1 cow) (the bull is "O", the cow is "E".)
The probe words are concealed at the following coordinates:
N42o42.491, E027o44.452
N42o42.469, E027o44.438
N42o42.461, E027o44.463
N42o42.578, E027o44.395
N42o42.592, E027o44.415
N42o42.513, E027o44.443
N42o42.509, E027o44.363
N42o42.512, E027o44.358
N42o42.578, E027o44.442
N42o42.503, E027o44.358
The cache is hidden in the roots of a tree.
The cache coordinates are: N42o42.51(Y-2), E027o44.25X, where X and Y represent the alphabetic numbers of the 3rd and the 1st letters of the secret word respectively.
