The objective of this cache is to
show you a very quiet place that is now a shadow of what it used to
be !
Once you get there take some
time to drive/walk around and imagine it a few decades ago… I left
some “points of interest coordinates” inside the final cache to
help.
Now the hunt
!
This coordinates will take you to a
park were you must find the following 5 structures to obtain the
hints to waypoint 2.
The most distant structure is only
110 m from the given coordinates.
You don't necessarily need to
follow this order to achieve your goal.
See the attached pictures to help
you find the structures.
Toma d' Água
![](http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/81525_600.jpg)
Beside the Toma d'Água there is a
train painted on the tiles. What is the number on the train chimney
?
The answer is your variable A
Example: if the number is 0962 , then A =
0962
Pinheirinhos

In the plaque in front of the well
there is a price, assume the comma as a variable
separation.
The answers are your variables B ,
C
Example: if price is
25,45
; then B
= 25
and
C = 45
Bebedouro
![](http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/81525_200.jpg)
In the watering place you will see
lots of number. What is their total ?
The answer is your variable D
Example: if the numbers are 1; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 , the total is
1+2+3+4+5 = 15 , then D = 15
Chafariz
![](http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/81525_400.jpg)
Find the date in this
fountain.
The answers are your variables
E ,
F and G
Example: if date is
22-7-1940
, then E
= 22
, F =
7
and G =
1940
Busto
![](http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/81525_300.jpg)
In José Maria dos Santos bust there
are three dates, his birth (Nascimento) , death (Falecimento) and
homage (homenagem).
The answers are your variables
H
,
I
,
J
Example:
N. 1800
- F. 1850
Homage
- July
1900
then H =
1800
, I =
1850 and then
J = 1900
Now it is time
for some math !!
Waypoint 2 is
:
North P
º Q ,
R
West
S º
T , U
Were
:
P = D / 3 – E
Q = G – I
R =
B x C – A –
Q
S = F –
1
T = J –
H – C
U = ( T + 2 ) x
E + D
Done
? Do you want to make
sure you have it right ? Well… Waypoint 2 is 3850 meters away from
the given coordinates.
