Nienburger Memory

A puzzle somewhere between mystery and multi. If you don't know Nienburg, you have to prepare you good and must look and ask people there. You will need some knowledge about mathematics. A bicycle can help very much. If you come with public transport you will arrive on the start-position, otherwise you will need it only "virtual".

Memory in Nienburg

A puzzle for people, which know Nienburg or want to get to know.

The micros

To find the cache, you have to play Memory. There are nine micros hidden around Nienburg in an approximate (very approximate!!!) rectangular formation. In every micro you will find an image of an animal. First you have to find the micros - and this may be the greatest challenge, because you don't know the coordinates. To solve this problem you have three aids:

Startkoordinaten

52° 38.690' 009° 12.972'

In the coordinates the same letter means allways the same digit. So it becomes more and more easy to find the next waypoints. Use this table to write down the relations between letters and digits:

The Memory

There are four pairs of animals and one unique image. The position of this waypoint is the point P you need to calculate the final position. You will need it later. On the backside of the card you can find a letter. In the right order all this letters will give you an additional hint (sorry, in German).

Most cards are placed in glasses. You can see them from outside and it's not nessecery to open them. Please let them closed - the paper will live longer.

The "Bogenschnitt"

To calculate the final position you will need the so called "Bogenschnitt". Now you need some knowledge abount trigonometry or you have to construct it graphically:

The distance from the start-coordinates to the final are H.IKK meters, the distance from the Point P are H.CEK meters. From the both mathematically possible positions the right one is closer to a dog.

Because it's not easy to draw or to calculate it exactly, you will find here some additional hints:

You will need a screwdriver.

Happy hunting!

Descriptions for the spoilers

Waypoint 1: Near the lake; two identical boxes in the willow, for one you must climb, for the other one look on the ground!.

Waypoint 2: In the past here was a bridge across the Führser Mühlbach. Now you will find only some ruins here; so come from the direction fron Nienburg or you have to cross the creek.

Waypoint 3: In the ground.

Waypoin 4: Magnetic. If you don't know this place, you will find a nice "bonus".

Waypoint 5: Very small magnetic nano on the backside off the object left. Please hide it very good again!

Waypoint 6: Between rock and tree. If you don't find it: there is a copy under the beech on the right side of the stone (a small "stone"). Near a shootingplace.

Waypoint 7: In the concrete; right side.

Waypoint 8: Not on the ground. Hard to open.

Waypoint 9: Not on the ground. Very hard to open.
