Please be careful, while searching for the Cache. Watch the trains and mind your step!

Best time for the start is one hour before sunset. Then the muggles are almost gone.

 This is a small Cache in the nice town Miami Platja. It should give everybody the same pleasure, which my brother and I had, when we were small kids and on holiday. Every time we were in Miami, it was a must to go to the footbridge over the railroad close to the beach. And even today I go there to bring back the great excitement. You have to go on the bridge and wait until one of the two big signals turn to green light. You might be waiting for many minutes, but it is worth the time. At the beginning you see only three small lights somewhere in the distance. And when they come closer, you feel the old bridge trembling like your own heart. Do not be afraid and keep standing straight in the middle of the bridge. Some seconds after you hear the loud warning horn of the train, blowing so strong, that the bridge shakes even more, the train sweepes beneath your feet with a sudden windstorm. If you have luck, it is one of the very fast trains which runs from big city to big city. Sometimes they are not so fast. No problem, just wait for the next one. And in the meantime you can search for the Cache.  

A) How many palm trees are on the left side of the place between you and the sea? The amount is A 

B) How many palm trees are on the right side of the place between you and the sea? The amount is B 

C) How many steps do you count on one side of the train bridge? The amount is C 

D) Subtract the number on the plate, which is hanging by the train signal to the north direction, from   the number on the plate at the train signal to the south direction. This (positiv) number is D. 

E) How many colours do the train signals have? The amount is E 

Please calculate like this:

Example1 = (10+10) x (1+1) = 40

Example2 = (10x20) – 20 = 180     

Z=A - B 

V=C / 9 

W=(A + B) x (D + E) 

X= (A x 70) + E 

Y= (B x 79) - D
