The United Kingdom has a lot of traditional holiday dishes, but one of the most popular is the mince pie. (It's also pretty big in Australia and New Zealand.) Mince pies are sweet and often plumped with dried fruits and spices. History says mince pies date back to the 13th century during the time of the Crusades.
Welcome to a three stage multi-cache. So get some paper and let's get started....
Stage 1:
Look at the photo of the Mince Pies from above and answer the following.
N42 5A.BCD W85 4W.XYZ
A = Number of white stars.
B = Number of stars + two
C = Number of brown stars x two
D = Number of brown stars / two
W = Number of brown stars / two
X = Number of stars + one
Y = (Number of brown stars x two) + number of white stars
Z = Number of points on each star (even if you cannot see all the points).
Check sum: A+B+C+D+W+X+Y+Z = 18+22 = 40
Stage 2:
Look for the bike station at the new coordinates and answer the following questions.
N42 5E.FGH W85 4S.TUV
E = Number of air pumps
F = Number of cables holding tools + number of tables
G = Number of drills.
H = Number of wrenches + number of screwdrivers + number of flat bars to remove tires
S = Number of flat bars to remove tires.
T = Number of allen wrenches in the set.
U = Number of wrenches + number of screwdrivers.
V = Number of cables holding tools.
Check sum: E+F+G+H+S+T+U+V = 17+21 = 38
