For the story behind Pimp my Pump crew, all references, info, water pumps, and projects check Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, all the PmP news and a complete list of all pimped pumps will be there, up to date. Also, paint on the pumps, and especially on the floor, unfortunately deteriorates with time, so the pumps can be rather different looking than their pictures in the listing...

EN: A lot of pimping history with this pump. First it was pimped in the “tennis” theme, so the first cache placed here was exactly that. Then, it was repimped with “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” movie theme. Finally, the latest design is Magritte.
René Magritte (1898 - 1967) was a Belgian surrealist artist, a leading member of the movement. He became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images that fall under the umbrella of surrealism. His work is known for challenging observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality.
Here, we see one of his most famous painting, The Son of Man.
BTW, this is not my first encounter with this artist while caching – take a look at this nice mystery in Milan!
To solve this simple multi, you have to look around the pump, and count:
A: Number of long metal poles, painted in green
B: Number of concrete pillars, painted in green (like a cactus)
C: Number of short metal poles, painted in yellow
HR: Ova pumpa krije puno pimping povijesti. Prvo je uređena u “tenis” maniri, tako da je prvi cache postavljen ovdje bio upravo na tu temu. Poslije je prefarbana u temu filma “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”. Na kraju, odnedavni dizajn je Magritte.
René Magritte (1898 - 1967) je bio belgijski slikar nadrealizma, vodeći umjetnik toga pokreta. Poznat je po domišljatim slikama, u kojima je stvarne objekte prikazivao u inače nemogućim odnosima.
Ovdje se podsjećamo na jedno od njegovih najpoznatijih djela, The Son of Man.
BTW, ovo nije moj prvi susret s dotičnim umjetnikom u geocachingu – pogledajte ovu zanimljivu misteriju u Milanu!
Da bi riješili ovaj kratki multi, pogledajte oko pumpe, i izbrojite:
A: Broj dugih metalnih stupića, ofarbanih u zeleno
B: Broj cementnih stupova, ofarbanih u zeleno (poput kaktusa)
C: Broj kratkih metalnih cijevi, ofarbanih žuto
Cache is at N 45° 47.XXX E 15° 58.YYY
Cache je na N 45° 47.XXX E 15° 58.YYY
XXX = (100*A+10*B-8*C),
YYY = (100*A-20*B+13*C)
Za priču o Pimp my Pump ekipi, reference, informacije, ofarbane gradske pumpe, i ostale projekte provjerite Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, sve PmP vijesti te kompletna recentna lista spimpanih pumpi će biti tamo. Isto tako, boje na pumpama, a pogotovo na podu, nažalost blijede s vremenom, pa pumpe mogu izgledati dosta drugačije nego njihove slike u listingu...
