Geocache Description:


A picture riddle for Canberran's or those who know Canberra well

In this short series of caches where I will show you a picture of art, other objects, or a building and you have to find it (within central Canberra given the 3.2km rule). Still a big area to cover so a puzzle might be easy for someone who knows the spot but hard for others. But one day you will come past it (during your favourite pastime or otherwise) and recognize the object. The D rating reflects that most won't know the places. So please don't give away to location in your logs. 

The cache is not at the listed coordinates.

Your task is straight forward: find the object in the picture below, retrieve the information and project GZ from there. 

Look around at the object and you will see a 4-digit number nearby, let it be ABCD. (If you find two different 4-diget numbers, use the smaller number.) Use them in the projection formula below: 

Standing at the centre of the picture, meaning at the base of the tower, GZ is (D+1)(B-1) meters in the direction of (A+1)B(D-1) degrees away from you. (for clarity, these are a 2-digit and a 3-digit number - each letter or term in brackets represents one digit)
