Geocache Description:


Starting Coordinates: N 41° 19.611’ E 019° 49.401’

Hi, my name is Nikolaus.Nb, I’m from Germany and staying for one year in Tirana. I made it my task to hide some more caches around here because there aren’t so many.

I already made two lab caches in Tirana city dedicated to statues and sculptures. But because there are so incredibly many statues/historical monuments here I’m not done yet. That’s why I am now making a little series of multi caches so I can show you some more sculptures in this beautiful city.

 

Your task is now: go to the coordinates of this cache. Find the nearest bust and figure out the following number in order to calculate where the final is hidden!

 

A –  What’s the name of this person (first name and last name)? Determine the word value! The digital root of this number is A.

 

B –  In what year did the person celebrate its 18th birthday? The digital root of this number is B.

 

C – Count the vowels (vocals; Y is not a vowel) on the base of the bust (without the metal part)! What vowel appears most often? Divide the total number of vowels by the amount of the most appearing vowel. The result is C.

 

D – The amount of the most appearing vowel (on the base of the bust) is D.

 

Your second task is to find another statue. It has a distance of 384 meters and a bearing of 116° to the first statue. Once you found it you can answer the following question.

 

E – What is the name of this bearded man? The difference between the two word values of his first name and his surname is E.

 

After you found out the values of the variables you are able to calculate the coordinates of the final location where the logbook is hidden. (To check your results here is a little hint: The sum of all the variables is 42.)

 

N 41° 18. 600+3E+AD – (AB+C)

E 019° 48. AB/D + EC +790

Please be careful when finding the final because there is an extremly high muggle danger. Please hide well again.
