Geocache Description:

TG Treasure Chest

** For those Geocachers that have not yet found this cache, hurry as this cache is going to be relocated to the Western Cape mid July 2010. **

This Multi-cache is located in the Roodeplaat Nature Reserve.
The entrance gate is at S25 38.996 E28 21.810 (GoogleEarth).

Gate time: 6h00 to 18h00

Fees:
R5 per car plus R5 per person
R15 per minibus plus R5 per person

Determining the cache coordinates:
To find the cache you must first calculate XXX and YYY from the clues for the coordinates S25 37.XXX E028 21.YYY by substituting the characters with numbers using A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4 and so forth. Remember that spaces between words do not count as a character but everything else does i.e. fullstop(.), comma(,)...

Clue #1:
After the entrance gate (S25 38.996 E28 21.810) there is a green sign with yellow character on the left hand side of the road.

XXX= ((a x b) + c) x d
where

a = Row 1 character 8
b = Row 2 character 10
c = Row 3 character 7
d = Row 4 character 7

The sum of each number in XXX should calculate to 8.

Clue #2:
At the location S25 37.789 E28 21.442 you will find a yellow sign with black characters.

YYY=((e x f) x g) + (h x i) + j
where
e= Row 1 character 11
f= Row 3 character 2
g= Row 4 character 6
h= Row 6 character 6
i= Row 7 character 16
j= Row 8 character 13

The sum of each number in YYY should calculate to 16.

You will have to see for yourself what the cache container is. The name of the cache says it all.

Enloy the hunt!! Team_Gecko
