Geocache Description:


PRETORIA GeoArt Series


Welcome to PRETORIA!

The Pretoria geocaching community is very proud to present PRETORIA, the largest GeoArt series to date in South Africa.

Aside from its rich cultural history, Pretoria is also home to an extremely active geocaching community. The Pretoria geocachers are a very social bunch and meet at least once every month to share stories, swap experiences and trackables and enjoy each other's company. During one of our get-togethers, the idea of putting our beautiful city well and truly on the geocaching map was born. It started off as a small idea but we soon realised that it would be a huge undertaking. When the call for interested parties went out, the local community responded true to spirited Pretoria form and soon all 85 caches were allocated to 21 different teams. The PRETORIA GeoArt community project commenced in January 2014 and was completed six months later in June 2014.

We hope you will enjoy exploring our beautiful city of PRETORIA.

As ek één aspek van caching moet uitsonder waarvan ek die meeste hou, sou dit waarskynlik wees om statistiek m.b.t. caches, cachers en die geografiese verspreiding van caches te bepaal.

Om hierdie cache te vind sal jy een van twee dinge moet doen:

1. Werk self die nodige statistiek uit.

2. Gaan lees die antwoord op die die statistiek-gespreksonderwerp op die geocaching forum.

Vraag: Hoeveel van die 9910 aktiewe caches wat daar teen die einde van 2013 in Suid-Afrika was, is nie gedurende 2013 gevind nie?

Indien die antwoord ABC is, is die finale posisie van die cache by
S25 45.(B)(B+C+1)(A+B) E28 17.(A+1)(A-C)(C)


If I have to choose óne aspect of caching that I enjoy most, it would probably be to calculate statistics about caches, cachers and the geographical distribution of caches and finds.

To find this cache you will have to do one of two things:

1. Determine the necessary statistics yourself.

2. Read the answer on the statistics topic of the geocaching forum.

Question: At the end of 2013 there were 9910 active caches in South Africa. How many of them had not been found during 2013?

If the answer is ABC, the final position of the cache is at
S25 45.(B)(B+C+1)(A+B) E28 17.(A+1)(A-C)(C)
