Description Deutsch · English

The Wilhelmshöhe is a very nice place above Markdorf with a great sight to the city, the Lake of Constance and the Alps. Exactly the right location for a Geocache. At the koordinates of the listing you will find some seating benches and a table to have a picnic. The box of the cache is not there. Obove in the forest you will find some more geocaches. The riddle:

IT is the only thing that is really shure
He who knows IT believes everything
There are people they explain the world to you although they know IT
If you ingest IT you will die.

Take the first and the fourth letter of the solution and replace it with the value of its alphabetical position (A=1, B=2, ...). Then get the final position of the cache with the formula below. Because one cache box was lost in fall 2016 it got a new location. So if you got the old coordinates please calculate them again.
For the first and the second finder is waiting at the final a trophy

a = The value of the first letter
b = The value of the fourth letter
c = The height of the Wilhelmshöhe (written on a sign at the cache koordinates)

Final:

N 47° 43.(a * b * b) - 49
E 9° 23.(c + 364)

20 April 2025 dogesu found the geocache

Erst etwas über das Rätsel gegrübelt, dann war alles klar. Heute ging es dann vor Ort, wo wir die Dose gut finden konnten.

Danke fürs Rätsel mit Dose, dogesu

The geocache is in good or acceptable condition. 20 April 2025 Catty27 found the geocache

Nachdem dogesu das Rätsel gelöst hatte, konnten wir heute auch das Döschen dazu aufsuchen.

Leider war aus dem sonnigen Wetter ein bewölktes und windiges Wetter geworden, aber das störte beim Suchen nicht.

Danke fürs Ausdenken und Legen!
