Waiting for... (II) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

lichtenberg.geo: The place became very ugly, lot of garbage everywhere around. The sign indicating the hydrant has completely disappeared (the cache was originally placed inside the three-sided metal sign). I don't see any reasonable nearby hide for a new cache.

Thanks for all the logs and visits -> archivating.

Miesto spustlo, všade smeti, je to tam odpudivé. Dokonca zmizol aj ten trojboký terčík označujúci hydrant a v takom zanešvárenom okolí nemám veľmi chuť vymýšľať náhradnú kešku.

Vďaka teda za logy a archivujem.

Geocache Description:


Waiting for a bus. Waiting in a line. Waiting for the doctor. Waiting for the midnight fireworks. I often find myself stuck in a "waiting situation". Čakanie na autobus. Čakanie v rade. Čakanie u doktora. Čakanie na polnočný ohňostroj. Často som niekde takto trčím.
 

And sometimes when I lay in my bed in the evening, I eagerly wait for the sleep to come. And I count sheep. A občas, keď večer ležím v posteli, netrpezlivo čakám kedy konečne zaspím. Vtedy počítam ovečky.

 

This is how Mr. Bean counts sheep. Takto počítal ovečky Mr. Bean.


But there is a cooler method for counting sheep. Ale ovce sa dajú počítať aj zaujímavejším spôsobom.


There is one salaš at the edge of Horehronie, where a bača (chief of a Salaš) counts his sheep in a totally unique way. There are a lot of sheep in his flock, but he can only count to 8. He can still easily find out whether any sheep is missing. Na jednom salaši na krajnom Horehroní však žije bača, ktorý počíta ovečky oveľa unikátnejším spôsobom. V jeho prípade ide o z núdze cnosť, keďže má v stáde veľa oviec, ale počítať vie len do osem.

 

This is how he does it. He arranges his sheep in pairs, then in triplets, then in groups of four, five, six, seven and eight. In each arrangement there is one sheep left. And as long as there is this one sheep left in each of the arrangments, bača is calm, because he knows that no sheep is missing. Takto bača počíta svoje ovce: najprv ich zoradí do dvojíc a presvedčí sa, že jedna nemá pár. Potom ich všetky ešte raz zoradí do trojíc - a opäť ostane jedna "navyše". Následne bača ovce zoskupí do štvoríc, pätíc, šestíc, sedmíc a osmíc a zakaždým mu tá jedna ovečka ostane "navyše". A to je dobre, lebo takto vie, že žiadna ovca nechýba.

 

How many sheep are in his flock (minimal possible count)? Koľko má bača prinajmenšom oviec?
