Geocache Description:

Nice snowshoe tour (if there is still snow) at about 1000m altitude.

You might leave your vehicle at N47° 19.367' E008° 54.106'and start to the first EKZ post at
N47° 19.373' E008° 53.999' for the number a (if you are not sure which number then take the bigger number).

Continue to N47° 19.286' E008° 53.314' to get the amount b of waysigns.

Follow the trail and find the tree at N47° 19.146' E008° 53.361' and note the number c = 10 on it. (The tree was cut down!)

Then go on to N47° 18.894' E008° 53.172' and look on a white sign how much time d in hours it needs from Rütli to Steg (not the time on the yellow sign!).

Find the waysigns at N47° 18.532' E008° 53.226' near the summernightbench and count the amount e of waysigns there.

Now the last electric post at N47° 18.018' E008° 53.984' for the number f.

Thats all!

Now the problem to solve for the cache coordinates:

Imagine a cup full to the top with coffee: Co.
Then you pour the amount M of milk into the cup which will mix completely with the coffee.
Mixed coffee and milk will spill over!
How much milk: x and how much coffee: y is left over?

Use for:

Co = (a - (4 * c + ((f - d) * b * e * 7) / 100)) / 8

M = 2 * d - e - f - 0.036

The cache coordinates:

N47° x' E008° y'

Use for x and y a precision up to three numbers after the decimal point!
