Geocache Description:


One day at a caching event, leopold22 and I were talking about Gade multis. He asked me if I knew how it was pronounced. Was it pronounced like we Americans would assume it is or, because it is a Danish word, is it pronounced something like "Gah-day"? I didn't know so I did some research and it turns out neither is correct. The correct pronunciation sounds more like the sound I would make when trying to swallow raw tomato (hint: I HATE raw tomato).

Anyway, this is another winter-friendly Q2SM (Quick 2 Step Multi) using the Gade method.

At the posted coordinates you will find a sign with a number in the lower left corner. To get the coordinates for the final cache location you will use the Gade method to process that number. Here's how it works...

1) Take that number and rearrange the digits in order from lowest to highest. For example, if the number was "30508" (it's not) you would then rearrange the digits to "00358".

2) Next, create a second string of digits containing all of the numbers between 0 and 9 not used in the first string, arranged lowest to highest. In our example, the second string would be "124679".

3) Add the second string of digits to the end of the first string. For our example, you would get  "00358124679".

4) Assign each of the resulting digits to a letter of the alphabet, beginning with A. For our example: A=0, B=0, C=3, D=5... K=9.

Using this method on the real number at the posted coordinates, you will find the final cache at N45° EB.GFE W093° FG.IBF

You can check your Gadeability with certitude.
