Geocache Description:


This mystery sends you around the world to mostly deserted places, where you have to discover a number in order to continue your journey! The task is sometimes simple, but mostly a bit tricky, whereby the obvious does not always have to be the right thing!

 

Here are a few useful tips:

1) you definitely need the Google Earth Pro App on your PC or Laptop
2) you definitely need Wikipedia too
3) you need patience, inspiration, plenty of provisions for LONG journeys and, above all, good nerves!

On your way back you can find the  Globetrotter FUE Bonus 

 
We start our journey on the neighboring island:

N 27° 46.175    W 15° 38.895                                                         A=

Note: A is not 1

 

Then we cross the Atlantic to the next island:

N 36° 122*A + 242    W 89° 70*A - 57                                          B=

 

 

A short flight takes you to a legendary location:

N 37° B+6.47B    W 115° 4B.B94                                                  C=

 

 

A REALLY!!! long flight now brings you to:                               

S 23° 180*A + 4    W 19° 3*B.002                                                 D=

 

Now it goes high at:

N 35° C+1.BB5    E 9,5*B° A/10.757                                            E=

 

 

After this adventure you will fly precisely to this clear sign:

N 37° C.2*A    W 116° C-E.E1D                                                    F=

 

 

For the next value you definitely need 2 locations:                                                                             

N 63° B/2.A/2+F-E    W 151° B-F-1.B/E16

Note: its former official name

and

N 38° C+E.5B5    W FF° 02.F49                                                    G=

 

 

On the other side of the globe you will find it at:

S B° 42.G+C+3*B    E 115° B+E.0BF                                           H=

 

 

Eastwards it is shorter to these "discarded":

N 3E° 09.2*C+2*F    W 110° C-E.H*(A+F)                                     I=

 

 

It's time for a luxurious detour:

N 47° 0B.E*D*I    E F° 15.A*E-H                                                  J=

 

 

The question arises here: what am I actually doing here EXACTLY at:

N E*J° 29.10*J-H    W 117° I+H+E.J*J-D                                        K=

 

 

Back in good old Germany:

N 50° 58.D*K-D    E 7° 01.0J                                              L=

Note: L is not 32

 

Quite exhausted, I reach my goal after this long journey at:

N 38° 0F.J+L    E L/E° 58.G+4*L+J                                             M=

Note: Just the kilometer value

 

 

In order to be able to achieve your final goal, you now need:

the sum of all numerical values found:                                     X=

and the number of different countries visited                          Y=



You can find the final at:

N28° 2x.xxx, in which:

x.xxx = X * E - C - D - H - I

W013° 5y.yyy, in which:

y.yyy = X * Y - A - G + H + K

 

You can check here whether you will end your trip successfully:


Good luck!
