Geocache Description:


The Oriddle series is a collection of origami riddles where you'll need to fold something from some crudely written instructions in order to get the coordinates!

Origami is almost always taught through visual means (diagrams, pictures, in person, videos, animations) so can you manage with only words?

 

What to do:

 

Follow the instructions below to fold something (in most cases, start with a square of paper) and you'll *hopefully* end up with something you recognise! Then take the letters of that word (if multiple words, ignore spaces) so that:

A = alphabet position of first letter (a=1, b=2, c=3 etc.)

B = alphabet position of second letter

C = alphabet position of third letter

etc.

And also:

Z = alphabet position of last letter

T = total of all alphabet positions

 

Oriddle 9:

This final one is extra hard - unlike the others (which I strongly recommend you solve first), this model is my own design so there are no instructions available on the internet etc.! There's also some extra steps to get the instructions...

 

Start with this jigsaw puzzle:

 

The cache is at:

N 51 2 (D - E) . (A) (D - C) (B + A - D)

W 2 39. ((C - Z) * T) + E - A)

 

You are looking for a 1.1 litre plastic clip container.
