Odin wants you to bring your kids to see this amazing mechanical
sculpture full of movement and sounds! You’ll find it inside
Akron’s Children’s Hospital. Be warned, you may spend
15 to 20 minutes staring at this thing!
It can be mesmerizing!
Once you can pull yourself, and your kids, away from marveling
at the 40+ nylon balls rolling, bounching, and making music inside
the sculpture, grab the cache outside and earn your
smiley!
The cache is located within view of
the hospital, short walk between stages. Street parking available
everywhere. Parking is free after 6pm daily and free all day on the
weekends, so obviously best times to hunt would be then.
The coords posted on this page will take you to the sculpture
located in the main lobby. Best entrances to use are the south or
the east doors. From the ground floor entrances, you’ll want
to go UP a ½ level to find this 20 foot long and 9 foot high
sculpture. Follow your ears if you have difficulty
finding it.
To find the final puzzle cache coords you need to do some simple
arithmetic with the posted coords at the top of this page and with
two numerical answers found somewhere inside the Incrediball
Circus.
Easy.
Here are the posted coords again:
N41.04.740 W081.31.537
And here is the puzzle.
To get the Final North coords, do this:
1. How many musical wood blocks are in the sculpture?
Take the number of wood blocks and multiply it by 5.
Take that sum and SUBTRACT it from the posted North minutes of
740.
This will give you the new North minutes.
To get the Final West coords, do this:
2. How many gongs and bells total are there in the
sculpture?
Take the total number of gongs and bells and multiply it by
12.
Take that sum and ADD it to the posted West minutes of 537.
This will give you the new West minutes
N41.04 and W081.31 doesn’t get changed at all.
Children’s Hospital is open 24 hours, their lobby is
always open. I’m not however listing this cache as being
available 24 hours. Please use common sense on how late you
visit.
That’s it! Odin and I know that you will enjoy your
visit!
Clue provided is for the final cache location
And to help clear some 'fog'
, a gong is a flat metal cymbal type of
instrument, that hangs vertically.
This is the hiking viking's 90th cache
in the greater Akron area.
