The give coordinates are to the first leg of a small multi. You
will need a GPS to find the venue. A small calculator and pen /
paper to do some calculations on is a pluss. The start is within
the main campus of the university in Oslo. To get here you can take
t-bane 3 or 5 to Blinderen, or tram lines 10,17 or 18 to
"Universitetet Blinderen". Busses 20 to Vester Aker Kirke or 25 to
John Collets plass are also options. Parking is free within the
campus after work hours. You can find parking here: N59 56.470 E10
43.269.
Stage 1 - Runic Quest:
The given coordinates will take you to a building. Right inside
the entrance of the building you can find 3 different stones with
runic inscriptions. But first locate the key card reader on the
left hand side of the information plaque of the stones. Above this
card reader you will see a small white sign with the inscriptions:
La/b where a and b are 2 digit numbers needed for your
caclulations.
Next look at the large stone lying on the floor. On the top to
the left there is a runic symbol, next to a sign that looks like a
+. This rune is drawn upside down from where you are standing. Use
the information plaque to determine this runes equivalent in the
latin alphabet. Count this letters order in the alphabet ( a=1,b=2,
etc ) This becomes your number c.
Calclulate: w = 158 + a * c , x = b * c
Stage 2 - Childs play.
Now walk to N59 56.w E10 43.x - You will find a childrens
playground. The playground is illuminated by a number of lightposts
with wooden masts. How many lightposts are there ? This is your
number d. Calculate: y = 327 + a * d , z = 563 + b * d
Stage 3 - Tech & Beer.
Walk to N59 56.y E10 43.z , you will find a business established
in 1993, welcome in.
