Please do not replace this cache if you think it is gone or can't find it. I am an active geocacher who lives in Reykjavík and I am taking care of it. Please just log a "Did not find" or "Needs maintenance" instead. Thank you very much and happy caching! :-)
There is no container at the listing coordinates! You need to solve the puzzle first to get the final coordinates!
Find the solutions to the following questions to get the final location of the cache:
A: What was the Hegningarhúsið used for until 2016?
- Prison = 7
- Hospital = 3
- Residence of Sigur Rós = 8
B: When was the Hegningarhúsið built?
- 1917 = 2
- 1872 = 1
- 1789 = 7
C: How many cells are there in Hegningarhúsið?
D: What was the security level for this facility?
- High = 2
- Medium = 8
- Low = 9
E: What's the reason for the Icelandic phrase "going to the stone" (fara í steininn).
- All shores in closer proximity are made from big rocks = 7
- Stone interiors of the facility = 8
- The road to the facility was only rocks and stones back then when it was built = 9
F: This place here is the oldest facility of its kind in Iceland. What is/was the second oldest?
- Fangelsið Bitru = 6
- Fangelsið Kvíabryggju = 2
- Litla-Hraun = 4
Now you can calculate the final coordinates by substituting the letters for their correct numbers and validate the coordinates with the solution checker down bellow:
