Important: The Cache
is not at the above Co-Ordinate, it will lead you to a nearby
carpark. You have to work out the
actual co-ordinate by solving the following riddle:
Ben stopped jogging by the bench facing the
sea. He is easily tired now-a-days.
Ben sat down on the bench and closed his eyes
for a rest.
“Ben, surely you have not forgotten your
Master”
Ben turn around to see to see a priest in what
seems to Taoist attire, complete with a Taoist sword behind his
back, like what one would see in Kung Fu movie, standing there.
The priest seems strangely
familiar. “Master
Zhang” said Ben, the name come from his mouth
automatically.
“Ben, you have forgotten the Tao. Your
yin-yang is grossly imbalance. Jogging will do you no good. You
must go to the place where the feng-shui is correct for you and resumed practicing
Tai-Chi like you used to do when you are with me in the
temple”
“What place?” ask Ben
Master Zhang took out his sword and draws some
figures on the sand.
“Remember. In the beginning, there is
Yang. And Yang is ONE WHOLE. Yang splits to beget Yin” said
Master Zhang.
“Hence, Yin is two?” asked
Ben.
“Yang is ONE. Yin is the opposite of
Yang. Hence, NOT ONE! Null!” said Master Zhang angrily before
disappearing.
It seems to be a dream to Ben and yet in the
sand is the figures. He recorded the following figures in his
pocket notebook which he always carries.
Strange! Was he a Tai-Chi disciple in his past
life, wondered Ben.
Ben recognizes the figures are co-ordinates
and symbols are from the Taoist Ba-Gua.
He decoded these ancient symbols. He is surprised at what the
ancients knew and that present-day computers use the same
system.
Ben head off for his Tai-Chi, will you join
him?
While you are there enjoy the
“feng-shui”, the wind and
water. And perhaps learn Tai-Chi from the Masters nearby.
There are two “old Chinese Ba-Gua” coins for FTF. The cache can be
reached by getting off on the Hougang subway station (NE14) on the
North-East Line.
