Geocache Description:


Starting Coords : N 41° 19.130’ E 019° 49.425’

 

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 now is: Go near the coordinates. They mark the Albania Stadium but you don’t have to go inside. Instead you need to find a statue somewhere near the stadium. With attentive eyes you simply need to orbit the stadium. Don’t go too far away.

 

After you found the statue you have to do a bearing from the exact point of the statue. Go 280 meters in the direction of 272° and you will find another statue. You will know that you have found the right statue if the plaque on the bust contains 23 letters. Now you will be able to answer the following questions.

 

N – When was the person born? Take the digital root of the year as N!

O – How many letters does his name contain? Take this number as O!

 

So now you can also find the final cache at these coordinates:

N 41° 18. 200+10*O*N + 2*N

E 019° 49. 600 – 8*O – 4*N

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