Kottenforster Ironman

This cache is part of the Kottenforst Trilogy. The task description and its solution is located at the flipside of the cover.

The Kottenforster Ironman (IM from now on) is only by its name related to Hawaiian version. The metaphorical part, for instance, is mirrored; the IM is much older (nobody knows exactly how old) and more mysterious, but not as strenuous. Actually it's just a walk of 3.5 km (including the way back).

Before you start, you'll have to prepare yourself. Fortunately, this can be done couch potato-wise by answering the following questions ("Mens sana in corpore sano") (Remark: The relevant information on the Internet is only available in German. Try Babelfish or send an email to me, if you encounter difficulties):

A) How many times must a girl walk around the IM and kiss him in order to get a "good" man?

1) Once
2) Three times
3) Seven times
4) Twelve times

B) When do the young people from the nearby villages perform ritual drinking cerermonies with the IM?

1) The night befor May 1st
2) The night after whitsunday
3) Every third tuesday of each month
4) Always

C) Where does Erich von Däniken place the IM's counterpart?

1) Hawaii
2) Berlin
3) Gizeh
4) Dehli

4) How large is the IM?

1) 1,50 m
2) 1,88 m
3) 2,18 m
4) 28 m

E) What is the IM's estimated date of birth (probably) ?

1) 1625
2) 1717
3) 1727
4) 1804

Keep the relation of number to letter in mind!

You can park near the starting position. At the position you'll find a protective building allowing you to view birds in a moor.

F) How many vertical pillars does the building have? (one-digit number)

Go to N 50,4A.E(2*C)(A+B) E 006,5(C+B).(F+C)(F+D)(C+A). The place features a nice view and a habitat for birds with a plate.

G) When was the habitat established - last digit of the year?

The IM is placed at N 50,4A.C(F+A)(G-B) E 006,5(F+B).(G-D)(G-D)D. On the way you'll find a pond with an island on the right side.

H) Look on your GPS device and add the tenth parts of latitude and longitude (e.g. for N 12,34.567 E 8,09.123, the result would be 5+1=6). The result is a one-digit even number (depending on your position you'll have to add or subtract 1 to get the correct even result!)

I) At the IM you'll find another plate. What is the penultimate digit of the date from the bottom line?

The Cache is located at N 50,4A.(H/2)(I-D)F, E 006,5(C+D),(H+E)(I-E)(A+C).
