Geocache Description:

Local GEOCACHERS, Please let a tourist/out-of-towner get FTF. Thanks
This cache not at the posted location and is mainly designed for people in town or tourists who like to combine sightseeing with geocaching. It is a mystery that leads you through Scottsdale to some of the most important points of interests (POI), at least in my opinion.

And here is the mystery: This is a picture of 10 Scottsdale POIs and an assigned number:

During your quick tour through Scottsdale you have to identify the objects on the photos correctly. Go to these locations to identify them. cordnates are in Decimal Degrees, you may have to convert it to a format your GPS can use or you can use the internet to find the locatons.

33.503659, -111.927657
32.352003, -112.882655
33.606328, -111.845978
33.58507, -111.7933
33.49166, -111.92286
33.637649, -111.924898
33.493789, -111.925987
33.46372, -111.92427
33.487897, -111.921475
33.731745, -111.845558

Finally, put the POI number you have identified into the following equations:

A=1*GreasewoodFlats+2*PinnaclePeak+3*SMOCA+4*FashionSquare+5*MayoClinic
B=6*SugarBowl+7*Taliesan+8*SkySong+9*ScottsdaleStadium+10*FLWSpire
X=10*SkySong+9*MayoClinic+8*SMOCA
Y=7*PinnaclePeak+6*FLWSpire+5*GreasewoodFlats+4*SugarBowl
Z=3*FashionSquare+2*ScottsdaleStadium+1*Taliesan

Then calculate the place where the cache is hidden from the following equation:

N 33° 30.[(A+B)-268] W 111° 55.(66+X+Y+Z)

The cachebox is hidden in old town scottsdale. There are many muggles around here on Saturday or Friday night, watch out! Have fun caching!

A note to all the tourist cachers: What about designing a similar cache for your home town? Just copy the mystery and exchange the pics. And don't forget to copy this note. Finally name it "Top 10 POI "your town name" and everybody can easily search for this type of sightseeing cache (there are already a few). If you want my photoshop template for the pictures, just ask.
