fiormenni

Size: Pico

You go on approx. 3 km long journey in the village Viermünden, which was named „fiormenni“ 1150 years ago. You see there some beautiful buildings and places as well as a lot nature connected with the life of the native ones. The entire cache can be done in approx. 3 ½ hours and is a mixture of historical questions, some mathmatics and tasks at the stages. However, a first search is recommendable due to terms which are perhaps unknown otherwise it can be that one has problems to solve the local stage and must return again. There are no boards with references at the different stages! I would not to tell you more, go simply on the search, have fun and learn some more from this beautiful village.

The indicated coordinates are purely fictitiously, it begins after solving the first task. The tasks have tob e solved partly locally and partly with the help of the internet. For this urgently the web page of the village Viermünden (http://www.viermuenden.com) is recommended. Please post no spoiler, thank you. To log the cache, you need a pen!

The first one who will find the cache will win the book: documenta fiormenni “Ansichtskarten aus dem 20. Jahrhundert”.

Have fun!

Stage 1: At the starting coordinates you are not in Viermünden, but nearly at the most beautiful place on earth: New Zealand. Of course a journey worth! Firstly you have to find the starting coordinates in Viermünden. To find them you have to bore yourself on direct way and pass the earth core.

S51° 06.134 W171° 10.364

Stage 2: At the computed coordinates there is a large white building. In the past there have been three of them in Viermünden. When the two different disappeared (house No. 1 and house No. 68 ½)?

A = Checksums of all numbers from house No . 1 to one-digit number

B = Checksums of all numbers from house No . 68 ½ to one-digit number

After solving the task go to the house of God.

Stage 3: At the ground of the south facade is an opening, which grants a view of the family grave „von Dersch“. How many coffins did one find during the opening in the year 1927? Moreover there is a commemorative stone of the fallen ones in the First World War. When died Karl Battelfeld? You need the answers to arrive to the next coordinate and for the final coordinate.

C = Checksums of all numbers from Karl Battelfeld (DD.MM.JJJJ) to one-digit number - number of coffins + 7

To come to Stage 4 , solve the following question : H ow many covered pavement does the house of God have, which refer to a no longer existing aisle? You need the answer to arrive to the next coordinate and for the final coordinate.

D = covered pavement – 1

Stage 4: N51° 06.11(C+D+A-B+2) E08° 49.70D
You should now have landed at the a half timbered house with the house name „Schluckebiers“. Count the framework surfaces (white) of the first row from downside at the north front. You need the answer to arrive to the next coordinate and for the final coordinate.

E = Number of the framework surfaces

Stage 5: N51° 06.0(B-D)3 E08° 49.9(E+D-1)1
Now you should stand at a place where it seems that the time stand still since 1987, at least over the week. When was this building with a clock built? At the south facade is a window in the first level, over it a round sheet set off with bricks. How many red bricks does this round sheet contain?

F = Checksums from the year to one-digit number / number of red bricks + 5

Afterwards go to the stilling basin.

Stage 6: At the stilling basin you find individual concrete cuboids (count them). When as the plant at the stilling basin (not the stilling basin itself) built? You need the answer to arrive the next coordinate and for the final coordinate.

G = Concrete cuboids – checksum year + 8

Stage 7: N51° 05.(3*D-B+G)91 E08° 49.3(F+2)6
Enjoy the view and rest a moment. On which mountain do you look? How high does this mountain lie over NN? How many trees you find (radius approx. 5m) next to the bench? You need the answer H to arrive the next coordinate and for the final coordinate.

X = 5th letter oft he mountains name as number - 12 + number of trees

Y = Mountain heigth NN

H = ((Y - SQRT(X)) / X) - 30

Stage 8: N51° 06.0((64/G^2)+6)5 E08° 49.(H-1)98
Last question which leads you to the final . When was the „Landjahr“ fort he first time in this building? At the round tower is on the left on the defenestration a seal. How many surfaces does the seal contain?

J = Number next to last of the year / number surfaces seal + 4

Final: You find the cache at the following coordinates, which one you have to solve step by step.

N51° 0E.(B-H)(C-4)G E08° A(D+6).FJ(C-2)
