Geocache Description:


Starting Coordinates: N 41° 18.856’ E 019° 49.206’

 

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 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 so 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.

PS: I would highly recommend you to solve all the riddles first and do then all the finals afterwards at once because they are hidden around the lake at random locations. Now good luck!

 

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

There are actually two bronze statues you have to find in this park area.

 

The first one are two boys playing leapfrog (see spoiler pictures).

 

J – How many letters can be found on the statue? They indicate the sculptor who made this statue. The number of letters is J.

 

The second one is a famous musician Françesk Radi (see spoiler pictures).

 

K – Who made this statue? And when? Take the number of letters of his name and divide them by the digital root of the year the statue was published. The result is K.

 

L – How old was this musician when he died? How old would he have become in the year the statue was published? The difference of these two ages is L.

 

Now you can calculate the final coordinates using this formula:

N 41° 18. 100J+8K+JK

E 019° 48. 870+J+K+L

Please be careful when finding. Extremely high muggle danger, so please hide well again. Thank you.
