Geocache Description:

Deutsche Version

kla4_Wien = ka leichte aufgab' fia _Wean / No easy task for Vienna

Sorry, I could not resist - it sounds arrogant, but take it as a joke at the beginning ...
Solve the task and you will see - at least it is a short and easy traditional (micro) cache.

It's not so easy to find a good hiding-place for a GC-cache. One of the essential
features is safekeeping against plundering or/and defacing. The visitor-frequency
at defaced GC-caches is very low - these GC-caches are dead (and so on + ? )
for geocachers and causes headache to owners additionally (and so on + ¿ ) etc.
Isn't it? If you have the same hunch and you are interested in - we can say... *
 
A + DEFACED + GC – CACHE = DEAD + 235,299 + ?
A + DEFACED + GC – CACHE = HEADACHE – 1500,361 + ¿

? and ¿ as well as each letter represents an assigned value - detect it!
The necessary calculation accuracy is three digits behind comma.
Calculate the crossfoot of the words and solve the equations to get ? and ¿
To avoid rounding errors and for simplifying the task, use following values only.

261,626 | 277,183 | 293,665 | 311,127 | 329,628 | 349,228
369,994 | 391,995 | 415,305 | 440,000 | 466,164 | 493,883

You need 7 values only - for the sake of completeness 12 values are listed -
ignoring the ebony-values is the best and plainest methode.

Syntax for ? (¿) = . . , . . . -- > Example: ? (¿) = 12,345´ [mm,mmm]

Find the Cache at:
N  48° ?´
E016° ¿´

1st hint to avoid failures: ? + ¿ = 34,387´
2nd hint: If you have a problem with the basic approach - at header-coordinates
(ca. 450m away from kla4_Wien) you find a convenient hint for the approach at first.

* This is a mystery GC-cache-description - no GC-report!

Have fun!
