Geocache Description:


Container Conundrum

 

Sadly, things have gotten out of control in my normally pristine and well-organised geocaching shed. My cache container shelves are in a right muddle, and I can't see where all my containers of various sizes are any more. The big containers are normally at the back and the smallest ones at the front etc, so I can see exactly where each one is, but with them all being mixed up I can't see the bisons for the ammo cans!. Can you help me figure out where they all are now?

Here are the four container sizes I have: micro, small, regular and large, which I have numbered 1-4.

Take a look at the grid below. It shows how many containers are viewable from front, back and both sides of my top-of-the-range Akea cache container shelving. Unfortunately when viewed from each of those separate perspectives, I can't see past the large containers, to see the regulars, or past the regulars to see the smalls, which in turn are blocking out my view of the micros. But I do remember I put one container of each of the four sizes on each row and each column of the shelf, when viewed from above. So I have to look at the shelving from all 4 perspectives, and have written down the numbers of containers I could see from each.

Containers Viewable From Each Side

The cache is located at N 56° 01.ABC W 003° 44.DEF

A = 3 across one down, plus 2 across 2 down, plus 4 across​ one down

B = 1 across 3 down, plus 3 across 3 down​

C = 2 across 4 down​

D = 1 across 4 down​

E = 2 across 3 down​

F = 3 across 3 down minus 2 across 4 down​
