Welcome to the Geocacher Exchange series!

The theme of this series is modelled after an exchange student program, where two students from different countries study abroad at the other student's country. This series grabs some Geocachers and instead has their puzzles "study" abroad! The two countries in this series are Denmark and the United States, specifically from Copenhagen and Grand Rapids, Michigan; respectively.

In each country, three caches are placed that named after a prominent Mystery Geocacher from the other country. The goal is to capture the spirit and theme of the other Geocachers' puzzles, so we can experience new and fun Mysteries from across the sea without having to travel. Although they are very similar to existing caches from their respective Geocacher, they take inspiration rather than being straight up copied. They all have my own twist and interpretation!

Right now, only the caches placed in the USA are published. Once all the Geocaches in the series are released, you can find them in this list.

This cache is based off of Olefant. Olefant is one of the most well-known cachers in the greater Copenhagen area. In fact, he was even nominated for Geocacher of the month in 2013. He was the lead of both the 2023 and 2024 Copenhagen MEGAs. I have had the pleasure of meeting him at many events in the past year, and even him out with the 2024 MEGA event. I don't often get stuck on his puzzles or hides, but when I do, I get a fast and thoughtful response. Olefant has a lot of caches, primarily in Amager, which is why most of my finds are from him. The image below is a map of all of Olefant's caches in the area - yes, just his!

Olefant has a lot of different themes for his puzzles. In fact, schwartz-hansen made a tribute cache for him a while ago, which does a better job highlighting him and his themes than I can. We both come to the same conclusion: a lot of Olefant's puzzles are either Map-Spotters or Jigidi jigsaws. The original plan for this cache was to do one of each, but after I compled the Cocktail geoarts and 2024 CCC series in Michigan... I think both me and the cachers here would prefer a break from Jigidis. Therefore, I am replacing it with a puzzle that shows Olefant's interest in Astrology, and a series he made about it. Enjoy!

THE PUZZLE BEGINS BELOW!

Nothing in the text above is part of the actual puzzle.

1. Løs map-spotter opgave. Gem cifrene fra lykønskningsbeskeden. MAP SPOTTER

2. Få cifre fra følgende gåde om astrologi: Styrken, 8 Sværd, Ypperstepræsten V, Djævelen

3. Brug cifrene fra trin 1 og 2, og læg dem i en traditionel dansk "Gade". En Gade er en metode opfundet af en geocacher af samme navn til at omdanne en liste med tal til koordinater. Sådan udføres en Gade:

• Alle cifre skal sorteres i stigende rækkefølge. Hvis cifrene er 6, 17, 9 og 6, skal du placere cifrene på følgende måde:
  16679
• Lav en liste over alle cifre 0-9, som du ikke har endnu. I dette eksempel mangler vi 023458. Tilføj dem til slutningen af de eksisterende cifre: 16679023458
• Tildel hvert cifr til bogstavet i alfabetisk rækkefølge. I dette tilfælde: a=1, b=6, c= 6, d=7, e=9, f=0, g=2, h=3, i=4, j=5, k=8
