benbehr: After the destruction of the cache container (I did recover the logbook) and since my time in Denmark is coming to an end I will now archive this cache.

Thanks for all the nice logs and I hope you enjoyed the cache.

Geocache Description:

There is free parking close to the indicated location. From here you have to walk about 400m. There is closer parking available but I won't tell.

I have just changed the difficulty rating due to some mails from you. Please let me know if you feel it still needs adjustments.

A young writer has taken it upon himself to "enhance" some dusty old figures of speech. It is up to you to decipher what he really meant to say (or in other words: dumb them down!).

1) As a case in point, other authorities have proposed that slumbering canines are best left in a recumbent position.

2) An incredibly insatiable desire to understand that which was going on led to the demise of this particular Felis catus.

3) There is a large body of experimental evidence which clearly indicates that members of the genus Mus tend to engage in recreational activity while the feline is remote from the locale.

4) From time immemorial, it has been known that the ingestion of an “apple” (i.e., the dome fruit of any tree of the genus Malcus, said fruit being usually round in shape and red, yellow, or greenish in color) on a diurnal basis will with absolute certainty keep a primary member of the health care establishment absent from one’s local environment.

5) Even with the most sophisticated experimental protocol, it is exceedingly unlikely that the capacity to perform novel feats of legerdemain can be instilled in a superannuated canine.

6) A sedimentary conglomerate in motion down a declivity gains no addition of mossy material.

7) The resultant experimental data indicate that there is no utility in a deceased equine.

Found all seven figures of speach? Good! Lets answer the following questions. (Please count plurals only once)

A) How many distinct animals can you find?

B) How many dead animals are mentioned?

C) How many animals are alive?

D) When (year only) was the mentioned magazine founded?

E) How many fruits are mentioned?

F) What is the WKN (last three digets only) of the mentioned life style company?

Now you can calculate the coordinates as:

G=D-1900-10x(E+A)

H=B+C

I=F-C

N 55° 4C.EG and E 012° 2H.I
