Rafic Hariri Mystery Cache

! The virtual co-ordinates above are at Rafic Hariri Street, but the cache cannot be found here !

Oct. 2017 was the first time Vader&zoon (the Netherlands) came to Lebanon. We noticed that several important places in the country (especially in the capital) were named after one of Lebanon’s former Prime Ministers Rafic Hariri: airport, hospital, university, and so on. We even held our own little Event at a monument of Hariri! After having found several caches in Beirut, we wanted to leave one ourselves. We chose to make it a Mystery cache (our first one!) and make Rafic Hariri the topic. By doing this, we are not expressing any assessment of Hariri as a person, nor are we saying anything of his political life. In order to get the location of the cache one needs to answer the questions below and do the simple maths.

1. How many cabinets has Hariri head during his tenure? = A
2. Hariri’s assassination led to important political changes. What was the process or movement of the protest development called? Take the first of these two words, determine the word value (a=1, b=2, c=3, etc.) of the first word and add the digits up to one digit (e.g.: ‘protest’ = 113 = 5) = B
3. Hariri was a close friend of a European President. Take the family name of this person and add the digits of the word value up to one digit; this digit minus 5 = C
4. The word value of the first name of the successor of Hariri’s second tenure as Prime Minister, added up to one digit; this digit minus 2 = D
5. What was the age of Hariri at his death? Add the digits up to one digit; this digit plus 2 = E
6. Digits of the day of the month on which Hariri was assassinated added up to one digit (e.g. 27 March = 9) minus 3 = F
7. The number of children Hariri had plus 2 = G
8. The year of the end of Hariri’s first tenure minus the year of the beginning of this first tenure = H
9. Place of birth of Hariri, word value added up to one digit = I
10. Year of birth of Hariri added up to one digit = J

Parking places are around, but you need to be lucky in order to find one. Please use stealth and be careful; as almost everywhere in Beirut muggles can be around. This cache is maintained by a local cacher for us (for which we are grateful!), so if anything is wrong, please let us know!
