Hello, and welcome to "A first flaggy cache!!'
I have always been interested in flags and so for my first ever mystery cache, I have chosen the theme to be around flags and their countries. To solve this cache, I am going to give you a description of a flag. When figured out, you must follow the instructions to find a part of the co-ordinates, e.g: amount of letters in the country's name. You may well need those colouring pencils to help work it out!!
I hope you enjoy this quiz and good luck...
Use the information below to find the values of A-H to complete these co-ordinates of where the geocahce is hidden:
N50 5A.BCD
W001 1E.FGH
A = 2nd letter subtract 19 of the country of this flag:
3 stripes horizontally placed in the background, starting with blue, then white and ending with light green from top to bottom. On the blue stripe there is a moon and 12 stars (3 on the top row, 4 on the next row and 5 on the bottom row).
B = Amount of letters subtract 1 in the country name of this flag: (there is some debate as to whether this is an actual official country or not!)
Double yellow lines ( don't park here!!) near the bottom of a sky-blue background. A white outlined red four pointed star is in the top left corner.
C = Amount of letters add 1 in country name of this flag:
An eagle is in the top right corner, supposedly orange, and under him is a vertical mini flag with three vertical stripes of orange, black and red from right to left. Rest of the flag is green.
D = First letter subtract 19 in country name of this flag:
White star inside a red square in the top left corner. 5 horizontal stripes, forest-green and yellow, starting with forest-green at the top and alternating.
E = Last letter add 2 in country name of this flag:
A black hoe, on a black gun, on an open white book, on a five-pointed yellow star, on a red triangle on the hoist side, on a three-striped background, top to bottom: green, black and yellow (I need a break from typing that whole sentence!!)
F = First letter subtract 12 in country name of this flag:
6 horizontal stripes (black, yellow and red repeated twice from top to bottom) and a white disk in the centre containing a grey-crowned crane facing the hoist.
G = Amount of consonants add 2 in country name of this flag:
Basic flag with three horizontal stripes, strating with green, then white and ending with blue when going top to bottom.
H = Amount of letters in country name of this flag: (actually... it's not officially a country as such, sorry! - but it still has a good flag!)
A two coloured background of yellow and red, split diagonally. Then a Medusa face with 3 legs and 3 wheat stems coming out from the face. Also yellow/gold wings on each side, of where there should be the ears.
