Geocache Description:

This was a multi, but is now a traditional cache with no puzzle to solve in a park near the centre of HCMC. PLEASE CHECK THE LOGS FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE RESIDENT GREEN SNAKE AT GZ BEFORE YOU SEARCH


Tao Dan Park is a pretty park near the centre of HCMC and provides a great escape from the craziness of District 1.  It's a place for couples, families and tourists alike.  You can often see the locals playing badminton, taking photos, dancing, relaxing and even sleeping!

UPDATE 21/12/18 - the artwork has been removed, so please ignore the following puzzle. The actual cache co-ordinates are: N 10° 46.394' E 106° 41.496' Please be careful of snakes when looking.

The cache is very simple.  Start at the published coordinates and look at the piece of art named Khu Tuong Niem Cac Vua Hung  (near trees 94, 93, 90).  Answer these questions:

A How many flying birds?  (this answer is A)
B How many people rowing the boat? (this answer is B)
C How many birds are sitting down? (this answer is C)

Now, put the numbers into this formula to find the final cache location: 
N10 46.C(B+C)(A/C) E106 41.(A/C)(B+C)B     
(checksum for completed coordinates: 58)

Please bring your own pen, and make sure the cache is well hidden when you return it.
