Description   

: Don't be shocked by the Terrain rating, that value was checked in advance with the approver to be the correct rating in that case. It is not because of needed Jeeps, Boats or climbing equipment, but you need a WLAN device (PDA, Notebook,...) and - of course - the skills to use it.

: Additionally please do the whole cache in stealth mode, people sometimes get nervous watching others with electronic equipment in public. The cache leads through an area of flats, so please keep caching-groups small ;-))) The route can be done by car, walk the last ~100 meters.

: : Stage 1: "The Old Ones" -----------------------------------------

N1 48° 08.003 E1 016° 28.507

:You start at some "old technology" which has (unfortunately) no MAC-Address to identify [:D], but a four-digit-number will do it as well. Take that number and make a prime number breakdown: "A" should be the smallest factor, "B" should be the biggest factor.

 

: : : Stage 2: "The Modern Ones" -----------------------------------------

N2 = N1 - 2*B + 15*A

E2 = E1 + 5*(B - 3*A) + 4

: Sit down.

Think of the name of the cache and try to "hear" something.There are many "in the air", one of them has a (german) number in the name. Convert all 6 characters into numbers (a=1, b=2, ..., z=26), sum them up and add 11. The left digit of that value is "C", the right digit is "D".

IMPORTANT: Just listen, no connecting or attempting to get in is neccessary here !!! Depending on your equipment, you will "hear" it loud or soft, sorry in advance if there is inconvenience in that stage ...

: : : Cache: -----------------------------------------

N_cache = N1 - A*B - C*D + 18

E_cache = E1 + A*B*C + 2*C*D - 13

: The Cache is a Film-Canister, please bring your pen with you. Small trading items required.

: HAPPY CACHING

Vor langer Zeit schon mal probiert, aber, wie ich heute feststellen musste, an einem Rechenfehler für Stage 2 gescheitert 😔
Heute dafür mit Etaner7 erfolgreich absolviert und geloggt.
Danke für das nette Rätsel!

Found 05 August 2013 swasti found the geocache

vor einigen tagen das erste mal im auto gemeinsam mit sharkslaw unterwegs.
stage1 wurde sofort richtig identifiziert, jedoch klappte das berechnen nicht.
lag wohl an den schweißtreibendenen temperaturen die im und ausserhalb des autos waren.
heute hat aber alles gepasst und dank moderner technik konnten wir auch das letzte rätsel lösen und die dose bergen.
Thanks to earlgrey for hiding this cache.

Dieser Cache war das Ziel meiner heutigen Radtour nach Schwechat anläßlich meines 3333ers bei der "Konkurrenz"- und dann auch noch ein T5 (70km Radtour mit Seiten-/Gegenwindböen bis 100km/h...)

Vielen herzlichen Dank für den Cache, dem Doserl gehts prächtig, & selbstverständlich liebe Grüße!
