Since the caches in Tianjin are mostly "traditional caches", I decided to introduce "multi caches" as a new cache type into the city. Multi caches usually need a bit more time, since the cache is not hidden on the posted coordinates! Instead the user needs to find some information on site to find the actual cache location. This cache is hidden in Jinnan Sports Park and includes 3 Stages and a final. To find the cache you need to go to the starting coordinates and solve the following puzzles to get from one station to the next one. The cache container is a typical nano container (very small) and magnetic! This means tweezers could come handy! It might be also helpful to print out this listing, before you start the adventure.
For this cache you need to calculate the word value of some English words. Word value means that you convert the letter into its numerical position of the alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10, etc.). This means the word value of the word "dad" = 4 + 1 + 4 = 9. Or WV (word value) of "hi" = 8 + 9 = 17.
1. Stage: Welcome at Jinnan Sports Park! This is a nice place to find some rest and enjoy some sportive activities. At the posted entrance you can already see the first example of it. Which sports field do you see (Brittish name)?
The word value of this sport will represent A. (8 letters, digit sum = 11)
Now go to stage 2 at:
N 39° 0.(659+A) ' E 117° 16.(792+A)'
2. Stage: On stage two you will find a big plate including a little map. Which "attraction" does it describe?
The word value of this name will represent B. (6 letters, digit sum = 13, not "forest")
Now go to stage 3 at:
N 39° 0.(625+A)' E 117° 16.(763+B)'
3. Stage: On stage three you will find a plate which is giving you some directions. One of these indicate the place to play a certain board game. Which board game is mentioned here?
The word value of this game will represent C. (5 letters, digit sum = 9)
Congratulation, now you are ready for the final at:
N 39° (C-B-5).(530+A+B+C)' E 117° ((A-C+3)/2).(603+A+B+C)'
