Spiromania #42
This is a puzzle cache. So the cache is not at the posted coordinates. As is usual in this series the solution will be represented in the shortened UTM format as VKabcdefghij standing for UTM: 15T E 4abcde N 49fghij.
Similar to the previous cache in this series, this one considers the Hexabees who buzzed around here some 2600 years ago. Archaeologists have recently unearthed mosaics whose images are shown here. The super hexagonal tile above was also found in several other locations, such as in the Congo and Papua New Guinea. Most researchers strongly suspect that the mosaics are due to the Hexabees. One theory is that the colors indicate the flowers that constitute their diet. The tiling with the embedded spiral shown below was found locally and seems to be peculiar to this area. It might be a map with the brown hexagon at ground zero and showing where the various flowers can be found.
To certify your solution enter it in the form VKabcdefghij (no spaces). If correct you will be supplied with the corresponding converted lat/lon coordinates and a hint on the placement.

Or if you prefer you can convert from UTM/VK to lat/lon and then try the solution checker to the left below provided you can get through the nCAPTCHA.
More than you need to know: Something seemingly coincidental happened here. Suppose you rolled a standard die thirteen times and a six never came up. Strange? Actually that would happen over 9% of the time.
