Geocache Description:


The Oriddle series is a collection of origami riddles where you'll need to fold something from some crudely written instructions in order to get the coordinates!

Origami is almost always taught through visual means (diagrams, pictures, in person, videos, animations) so can you manage with only words?

 

What to do:

 

Follow the instructions below to fold something (in most cases, start with a square of paper) and you'll *hopefully* end up with something you recognise! Then take the letters of that word (if multiple words, ignore spaces) so that:

A = alphabet position of first letter (a=1, b=2, c=3 etc.)

B = alphabet position of second letter

C = alphabet position of third letter

etc.

And also:

Z = alphabet position of last letter

T = total of all alphabet positions

 

Oriddle 8:

 

Fold corner to midpoint of an opposite side

Mountain fold bringing the ends of that crease together

 

The cache is at:

N 51 25. ((T + Z) / C) (D - C) (B + D + E + Z - A)

W 2 39. (Z - B) (A + C + C - E)

 

You are looking for a disguised micro.
