[CZE] Uvodni souradnice vas nasmeruji na plochu znamou kacerum jako "Kurim airport" GC19RGK. Ve vzdálenosti do 3 mil odtud je v zahrade rodinneho domu umisten letoun Antonov AN-2, lidove zvany "Andula". Jedna se o dnes jiz legendarni dvojplosnik, konstrukci konstruktera Antonova o rozpeti 18m, pohaneny motorem Svecova o vykonu 1000 konskych sil (750kW). Stroj byl vyraben v letech 1947 az 1970 v celkovem poctu asi 18 500 kusu (ano, osmnact a pul tisice letadel) a drzi nekolik prvenstvi - napriklad nejdele vyrabeny letoun, nejvetsi jednomotorovy letoun, nejvetsi dvojplosnik v aktivni sluzbe.


Krasavec z obrazku nestoji v zahrade, ale leta pod imatrikulaci LY-BIG
Depicted plane is not located in private garden but flies under matriculation LY-BIG.

Mystery: Predem si vylustete kodovaci system pro prevod pismen na cisla.
Zacatek a konec tabulky je A=5 B=9 C=11 ... X=11 Y=13 Z=11.

Terrain: Letoun vyhledejte v okruhu do 3 mil od Kurim airport (muzete pouzit fotohint ziskany ze serveru mapy.cz) a zjistete jeho imatrikulaci ve formatu peti pismen P1 P2 - P3 P4 P5.
Prevodem pomoci systemu z mystery ukolu dostanete cisla C1 C2 - C3 C4 C5

Final: Finalni souradnice urcete ze vzorcu:
N 49°18,(C1-C2)(C3)(C3-C4+C5)
E 16°33,(C2)(C4)(C2-C3)
Zavorky nenasobte!

[ENG] Initial coordinates will forward you to the area known to cachers as "Kurim airport" GC19RGK. Somewhere within 3 miles distance from this point, in a garden behind a private house, one can find grounded Antonov AN-2 "Colt". Legendary biplane was designed by Antonov with wingspan 18m, powered by 1000hp engine. This plane was produced from 1947 to 1970 in total count of approximatelly 18 500, beeing longest produced airplane, bigest single engine and bigest biplane.

Mystery: In advance find coding schema for translation of letters into numbers.
The table beggins and ends A=5 B=9 C=11 ... X=11 Y=13 Z=11.

Terrain: The plane should be located in radius 3 miles from Kurim airport (you can use hint from server mapy.cz). Matriculation of the plane is needed in format of five letters P1 P2 - P3 P4 P5.
Using the coding system from previous point you will obtain numbers C1 C2 - C3 C4 C5

Final: Final locations shall be calculated:
N 49°18,(C1-C2)(C3)(C3-C4+C5)
E 16°33,(C2)(C4)(C2-C3)
Don't multiply the brackets!

Total lenght of trip from Kurim airport to the plane, then to cache itself and back is 6 miles, all the time on roads suitable for pedestrians and bikers. Cache is about 1 mile far from the airplane. Nearest pub to the final stage is not opened on Monday and Tuesday, so plan your trip accordingly.
