Pentominos #2 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: As this cache has been in need of attention for some time, with no update from the CO, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

One of a series of four caches which leads to a bonus cache. Do some homework and bring along paper, pen, scissors and patience.

There are just twelve shapes that can be made from five squares. They are called Pentominos. There are a number of ways they can be fitted together to make up a 5 x 12 rectangle like the picture below. However, once you know which shapes have the (53, 01) degrees on them there is only one way.

Each cache contains three shapes, on which there are numbers, not necessarily the right way up (though the 53, 01 numbers are), but all on the same (coloured) side. Copy the shapes from the four caches and fit them together, coloured side up, to obtain the coordinates of the Final Cache.

Recommend doing in the order #1, #2, #4, #3 if you're aiming for the final cache on the day.
The cache is a small plastic clip down box with logbook and pencil.
