Have you got all the answers right? Remember: Google is your best friend! Now you have the right coordinates. No? Need help? (Hint1)

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.


Ok, you’re good to go!

You’re in a beautiful Lisbon’s square. Enjoy it! Look around! Position yourself with the monument behind you and facing NNW. There is a building at 2 o’clock with a big stone panel. Count the people pictured in it (=A). Easy! There is another building at 8 o’clock with some more stone panels. Now you need to count the number of panels present in the façade (=B). Make the following calculations:

N (Moviequizz coordinates) + (A*53,6)

W (Moviequizz coordinates) + (251+B)

e.g. N 38º 41. 910 + 300 = 38º 42. 210

(check: A+B=14)


After some simple math, you’re in possession of a new location coordinates. It’s not far. It’s only about 580 m (10 min walk). So embrace your fellow Geocachers and do the walk like Judy Garland (you can sing if you want!).



Phew! That was a fine walk, wasn’t it? Now you’re facing another "important" building and you need to find the final coordinates. Start looking!


Have you found it? Hurray! You’re on the go to a happy ending. It’s a short walk, about 170 m (2-3 min). Enjoy the stroll!

And there you are!! All the trouble for this? YES and it was all worth it!!

You will find inside:

* Log book

* Pencil, pencil-sharpener

* Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug

* old movie ticket

* PRIZE for the FTF!

Since this is a movie-themed cache, you can leave an old movie ticket!

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
