Swedish: Koordinaterna på cachen är falska, de leder dig till Rönne å och anger inte cachens placering
English: The cache coordinates are fake. They will lead you to “Rönne å” and do not tell you anything about the actual position of the cache
If you, like me, are a fan of the Beatles you might know that there are numbers in some of their songs. To solve this mystery cache you have to find certain songs and some numbers within the lyrics. All songs are included on LP records, all published in Sweden. By finding the right songs and the missing numbers you will be able to solve the following:
a=X1-(X2+4), b=X2-8
c=X3-12, d=10/X4
e=Y1-17-3, f=Y2-(Y1+28)
g=Y3-X3+4, h=Y4
The cache is located at
N 56 0a.bcd E 013 2e.fgh
Here follows 8 different songs with a few lines taken from each. Figure out the lyric and you will find the number.
X1
Well, she was just X1,
You know what I mean.
And the way she looked
was the way beyond compare
X2
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me,
I ain't got nothing but love babe,
X2 days a week.
X3
Let me tell you how it will be.
There's one for you, X3 for me,
'Cos I'm the Taxman, yea, I'm the Taxman.
X4
Wednesday morning at X4 o’clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
Y1
It was Y1 years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
Y2
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away, so, he waits behind
Writing Y2 times "I must not be so-o-o-o."
Y3
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewellers stores
Buys a Y3 carat golden ring.
Y4
Y4 of us riding nowhere,
Spending someone’s hard earned pay
