Geocache Description:


ABBA Gold is a series of nineteen puzzles, plus a bonus, inspired by the song titles on ABBA's best-selling album, "Gold: Greatest Hits". The caches form a circuit of roughly five miles, on some pleasant footpaths around Pirbright. Be prepared for wet and muddy conditions!

See ABBA Gold (the bonus puzzle cache) for an overview of the series.


ABBA Gold #18: Thank You For The Music

Of course, everything on ABBA Gold is 100% original, but some artists do borrow a bit, now and then. I hope they remember to say Thank You for the music...

Puzzle

You need to find a #1 single and two #1 albums. In ascending order, the number of characters in their titles are A, B and C, and the total number of characters in the names of the two artists is D. (The checksum of the four values is 41.)

The cache can be found at:

N51° 17. [ D-B ] [ A+2 ] [ C/5 ]
W0° 37. [ A*2 ] [ B+1 ] [ C/D ]




FTF honours to Woking Wonders. Congratulations!
