Huashan Freight Station is a now-abandoned railroad station. Main building of the station is located at the posted coordinates. The facilities were determined to be demolished years ago for the reason of urban redevelopment. An appeal to protect the station resulted in the main building being registered as a historic site and preserved.
Adjacent Huashan Dog Park and Taipei Artist Village are also worth of a visit. Let's go through this 3-staged multicache to know more about this interesting place.
STAGE 1: Huashan Freight Station
The station was activated on 1937-12-1. A large freight yard was built beside the station serving winery business. It was closed on 1986-7-21 when the railway went underground. Your task is to have a visit to the main building and collect the following information:
- PQ (2 digits): street number of the building
- R (1 digit): number of doors facing west
- S (1 digit): number of lower windows facing west
- T (1 digit): number of upper windows facing west
- HInt: P+Q+R+S+T=23
Use P, Q, R, S and T to determine the location of stage 2
The coordinates of stage 2 are N 25° 02.(P^R)(Q-T)(S-R)' E 121° 31.(T/P)(R)(Q-S)'
You can validate your puzzle solution with
certitude.
STAGE 2
Go to the coordinates to find clues for the final stage. At the corner, search for a 3-digit secret number, XYZ, on the back of a bright box. X+Y+Z=8.
Now, use all numbers you get from stage 1 and stage 2 to calculate the final coordinates.
Final coordinates are N 25° 02.(R+S)(S+Y)(Z)' E 121° 31.(Q-R)(S-Y)(P+Z)'
You can validate your puzzle solution with
certitude.
FINAL STAGE
Hooray! Get the box, sign log paper and claim found. The container is small in size. So it should be able to hold official dog tags and small trinkets.
- Bring your own pen.
- Be stealthy. If muggles sit there, please wait for them to leave.
- Do not post spoilers of the container.
- Replace the container at the exact spot you found it.
Enjoy ^_^
