Geocache Description:

This is a nice child friendly Multi-cache. It is best to do this cache during daylight since you need to pay attention to details, but it can be done during the night with a flash light.   

The posted coordinates will place you in front of the famous Rami Meiri studio. Rami is one of Tel Aviv's and Israel's most famous urban artist. He has been "dressing" the city for more than 20 years, using the empty walls as his canvas. You can find his art all across Israel and the world in places like Schools, Army facilities, office buildings and well everywhere. I wanted to add a picture of his studio but I won't steal you of the first impression fun. Enjoy this cache. In order to obtain the coordinates of the final location you will need to gather some pieces of information, some from the surrounding fence/wall and some from the house itself. Some of the tasks are easy, some are tricky so I advise you to use the coordinates check, Enjoy.

 
Look at the house itself at find the following details:
1.       There are some ladies having a good time above an air conditioning unit. A=number of ladies.
2.       How many faces are painted on the house itself, look very carefully, this one is tricky so I hadded a hint. B=number of faces.
3.      Above a giant face there is the the face of a familiar cartoon figure let C be the name of the figure Bart Simpson(1), Mickey Mouse(2) or Popeye(3)
4.       Under the Bus there is a number, the number is 99D
Look at the fence surrounding the house from the south entrance to the parking area all the way to the western end at the building site.
5.       E= Number of bicycles painted on the fence.
6.       F= There is a giant dog painted on the fance what is its color ? (1) brown (2) white (3) black
7.       G= Total number of foreign flags that are not Israeli (or have the star of david in them), this one is tricky look carefully.
8.        There is a writing on the fence that says "I LOVE YOU IS ____" let H be the missing word Great(1), Beautiful(2) or Back(3)
 
The cachesum is: 32. The cache is waiting about 450 m from the house just across of a thing with a name I really like (you'll get it when you will get to the area).  
The coordinates are N32 03.XYZ  E 034 45.TMN
X= B-C-F
Y= E
Z=  A+D
T = G+H
M= G+F
N = C+F
Not mandatory but highly recommended: Take a picture of yourself or your tracking device near the painted house
