Geocache Description:


This mystery in the series of "somewhere in.." is a little different. Solution is not meaningful by itself (not a meeting of two streets of the puzzle). 

Instead, the picture puzzle will lead you to sites all over Israel. After figuring them out, visit the sites on google street view, and answer the questions (in english) to collect the values for final location.

Knowledge of Israel history and culture will be helpful.

Posted coordinates are on Hertzl Street in Ramat Gan. Final location is elsewhere.

The puzzle:

W: Find the house relevant to the picture. It is house # ?A. There is a shop with a title both in Hebrew and English. B = number of letters in first English word.

X: Each metal part is held by how many columns? This will be C.

Y: On the east side of the building there is a street, E=number of letters in the street's English name. Look carefully at the English writing of the name of the place (you can read it clearly from that street on the east side near the entrance). The title of the place appears in three words. Below the title there is another line with three words. F=number of letters of first word minus 1.

Z: Continue with the road a little to the east until the green gate. Left of the gate there is a big sign. A number is mentioned. D=sum of first two digits of the number.
