Geocache Description:


I am johnpoontf, a passionate geocacher who has made Tai Kok Tsui my home. Since starting my geocaching journey, I have unearthed over 700 caches, fuelling my enthusiasm to contribute actively to the geocaching community. Previously, I introduced the Tai Kok Tsui Series, a tribute to the district's unique blend of history and modernity. Though the series has since been completed, the dynamic nature of our community and the evolving urban landscape call for regular reviews and renewal of cache locations. This cache at Sycamore Street is a replacement of "Tai Kok Tsui 06: Bruce Lee" which has been archived as the original location is no longer suitable for a cache.

Sycamore Street is part of a cluster of streets in Tai Kok Tsui named after trees, such as Elm Street, Beech Street, and Pine Street. Unlike its neighbours, Sycamore Street's Chinese name, 詩歌舞街, translates to "Poetry, Song, and Dance Street." This poetic name was chosen to avoid the inauspicious connotations of the direct translation of "sycamore" which refers to the fig tree, known in Chinese as 無花果, meaning "fruitless tree."

The street is characterised by its historic buildings, including several old-style tenement houses, and is home to educational institutions. The area is known for its vibrant community and cultural significance, reflecting a blend of Eastern and Western influences. A Cantonpop band even used the street name to create a song and it has created a craze here.

Now it is time to get this cache by walking through the Sycamore Street!

Here are two questions:

  1. How many schools are located along Sycamore Street?

  2. A renowned martial artist attended a school on Sycamore Street and there is an information board about this artist. What is the first word of the second paragraph on the board at Sycamore Street?

Solve by combining two answers and fill in the certitude below. For example, if the answer for Q1 is 2 and Q2 is when, type "2when".

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
