A Puzzle-type Letterbox/Hybrid cache (please don't remove the ink pad or stamp; they're not swaps) - The cache is NOT at the given co-ords. You have to crack a puzzle or code first.
Method 1: Use some AANDs (Aluminium Alpha-Numeric Discs. There are around 4,000 in circulation) and go to:
N51° 4A.JJH'
W000° 3E.FEE'
Picking which combination of AANDs you need could be a 1/100,000,000 guess, so I've added some clues to this page. Be careful. Eight different ones used.
Method 2: Solve this cache's twin, and add 0.053 to the Northings and add 0.189 to the Westings to get the co-ords for this cache. Easy! This also works vice-versa, of course...
Method 3: Take the final digit of the year these creations for children made their public debut to calculate the final co-ords of this cache, using the following formula. There are larger versions in this cache's Gallery if you need a better look. Good luck!
The final is hidden at N51 4A.BC W000 3D.EF where:
A = [G-S]
B = [(H+J)x(M+W)]
C = [Y-P]
D = [O-R]
E = [(KxX)+(Q+U+P)-N]
F = [L+T-V]
Checksums: G+H+J+K+L+M=27, N+O+P+Q+R+S=14 and T+U+V+W+X+Y=34
G=
H=
(First book of the series- this character was introduced the following year.
Not this later TV series.)
No I to avoid mistaking it for a 1.
J=
K=
L=
(As a regular TV series.)
M=
N=
(Original book of the series, not this 1978-79 TV series)
O=
P=
Q=
(Original book, not the comic or cartoon series)
R=
(In Switzerland)
S=
(1950s comic strip in The Beano.)
T=
U=
V=
(As Edward Bear in a book of children's verse.)
W=
(Original TV series)
X=
Y=
Please DO NOT remove the stamp or ink pad. Neither is a swap - They make this cache a LetterBox/Hybrid. Thank you!
