Get started!

• Route 1: Go to position N59 (48+x).(xyz-225) E10 (39+y).(xyz+170)
• Route 2: Go to position N59 (54+z).(xyz-168) E10 (42+y).(xyz-661)
• Route 3: Go to position N59 (53+y).(xyz-633) E10 (36+x).(xyz-41)

Route 1

• Step R1-S1: On this spot you will find an information board with a series of numbers. Take a note of the largest number in this series. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 2. On this information board, your position is marked. Which of the numbers mentioned above is closest to your position? This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 3. Next, you will need two numbers, one from each of Route 2 and Route 3, to go to the next step. Use these two numbers to calculate the position of step R1-S2 as follows: N59 (47 + Number from route 3).(20 x Number from route 2 + 207) E10 (34 + Number from route 3).(10 x Number from route 2 - 103). Go to step R1-S2
  
• Step R1-S2: Here you will find a sign with a name. Count the number of letters. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 2. Take a note of the first and last letter in the name. Let A=1, B=2 etc. Calculate the sum of these two letters and give this number to your colleague on Route 3. Next, you will need two numbers, one from each of Route 2 and Route 3, to go to the next step. Use these numbers to calculate the position of step R1-S3 as follows: N59 (42 + Number from route 2).(18 x Number from route 3 + 74) E10 (29 + Number from route 2).(13 x Number from route 3 - 186). Go to step R1-S3
  
• Step R1-S3: Count number of benches around the statue (B) as well as the number of people in the statue (P). You are now exactly [B * B * P + 520] meters from the cache. Happy hunting!
  

Route 2

• Step R2-S1: Here you will find a blue plaquett, with information about this historical place. There are 5 years mentioned on this plaquett. Find the last digit in the largest number and multiply with the last digit of the smallest number. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 1. On this blue plaquett, there is also mentioned a name. Count the number of letters in the familiy name. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 3. Next, you will need two numbers, one from each of Route 1 and Route 3, to go to the next step. Use these two numbers to calculate the position of step R2-S2 as follows: N59 (42 + Number from route 1).(7 x Number from route 3 + 394) E10 (30 + Number from route 1).(23 x Number from route 3 + 538). Go to step R2-S2
  
• Step R2-S2: You are now in front of a building. Count the number of letters on the facade of the building. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 1. Take a note of the last two digits in the year that is also written on the facade. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 3. Next, you will need two numbers, one from each of Route 1 and Route 3, to go to the next step. Use these numbers to calculate the position of step R2-S3 as follows: N59 (47 + Number from route 3).(47 x Number from route 1 + 344) E10 (35 + number from route 3).(63 x Number from route 1 + 329). Go to step R2-S3
  
• Step R2-S3:You are now close to a sculpture. Count the number of letters in the artists name (A) as well as the number of letters in the name of the person that is depicted here (P). You are now exactly [A * A + P * P + 134] meters from the cache. Happy hunting!
  

Route 3

• Step R3-S1: Here you will find a statue of a historical person. Count the number of letters in the family name of the artist. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 1. Count the number of letters in the full name of the person that is depicted here. Give the result to your colleague on Route 2. Next, you will need two numbers, one from each of Route 1 and Route 2, to go to the next step. Use these numbers to calculate the position of step R3-S2 as follows: N59 (48 + Number from route 2).(100 - 14 x Number from route 1) E10 (36 + Number from route 2).(100 x Number from route 1 + 44). Go to step R3-S2
  
• Step R3-S2: Here you will find another statue of a historical person. On the nearest corner of the base of the statue, there is a small plaquett. Count the number of letters in the second line of the text. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 1. Also count the number of letters in the first name of the artist. This number you will have to give to your colleague on Route 2. Next, you will need two numbers, one from each of Route 1 and Route 2, to go to the next step. Use these two numbers to calculate the position of step R3-S3 as follows: N59 (34 + Number from route 2).(17 x Number from route 1 + 494) E10 (24 + Number from route 2).(9 x Number from route 1 - 138). Go to step R3-S3
  
• Step R3-S3: Close to this position you will find an installation with several persons depicted. Count the number of letters in the full name of the middle person (M) as well as the last number in the year when this statue was erected (L). You are now exactly [M * M * L - 371] meters from the cache. Happy hunting!
