Geocache Description:

Projizdka po mrakodrapech sveta
A visit of the world's skyscrapers

Na uvodnich souradnicich vsak nase kes neni
Do not seek our cache on given coordinates


Doslo ke zmene vzorce i finalnich souradnic od 21. unora 2019 - viz nize.

Formula and coordinates has been changed since February 21, 2019 - see below.


Jelikoz se udaje dosti ruzni, pouzijte zdroj uvedeny v hintu

English description follows in text

Clovek se chtel jiz od nepameti priblizit obloze a letat jako ptak. Podarilo se mu to diky letadlum, balonum a jine technice. V zivote vsak vetsina travi svuj cas predevsim na pevne zemi. I presto se clovek stale chce priblizit obloze. Ke stavbe mrakodrapu vede mnoho duvodu. At uz je to touha dotknout se stavbou nebes nebo tak prekonat jine mesto, jiny stat, jiny rezim. Nebo jde o snahu maximalizovat koncentraci lidi pracujicich/bydlicich na minimalnim prostoru a dosahnout tak ekonomicke optimality. Nebo...? V kazdem pripade pojdme se podivat na mrakodrapy a zasnout nad jejich vyskou... Exkurze to bude snadna...

Ke kazdemu mrakodrapu prislusi kontrolni otazka (pod obrazkem). Na konci exkurze pak nasleduje snadny vypocet finalnich souradnic. Kazdy mrakous ma neco do sebe, tak se projedme svetem!
For each skyscraper you will have to answer some controll questions (under the picture). At the end of our trip easy calculation of coordinates follows.

1

1. Tento mrakodrap je jiz vyskove prekonan. Stale vsak patri mezi nejvyssi na svete a fascinuje vselijakymi vychytavkami. Jelikoz se nachazi v seizmicky aktivni oblasti, ma velmi zajimavy mechanismus eliminujici zkazu plynouci ze zemetreseni. Ma "A,B" metru silnou zelezobetonovou zakladovou desku ukotvenou "C" metru hluboko ve skale. Stabilizaci pak zajistuje "D" (zaokrouhlete na desitky) tun tezka koule zavesena na lanech o prumeru "E" cm.
1. This skyscraper has been already beaten by another high building. But it is still one of the highest ones and it has a lot of special features. It is located is seizmic active area, that's why specific mechanism eliminates consequences of earthquakes. The building has "A,B" meters high base plate made of steel concrete, "C" meters under the ground. The stabilization is provided by "D" (round to tens) tones steel ball that is hung on the ropes with diameter "E" cm.

2. Tym puvodnich autoru teto kese mel před publikaci moznost zhlednout zobrazeny mrakodrap na vlastni oci. Vyska strechy (nikoliv vyska budovy) jest uctyhodnych "F" metru.
2. Geoteam (original authors of this cache) saw this skyscraper short time before publication. It is huge! The height of the roof (not the height of the building) is "F" meters.

3

3. Tento mrakodrap byl dokoncen v prosinci 2009. Zahajeni stavby je datovano k "G.H.2004" - jedna se o druhou cast roku.
3. This skyscraper was finished in 2009. The start of construction is dated to : "G.H.2004" - second part of the year.

4

4. A na ceste do Evropy si odskocme jeste do Ameriky. Dvojcata jiz nejsou mezi nami, ale nejvyssi naslednik neni zadny drobek, mel by dosahovat "I" metru. Cela budova (nejen strecha)!
4. Before we finish in Europe, let's have a look in America. Twins are not already among us, but the successor is designed to be really high - "I" meter. (not the height of the roof)

5

5. Trocha historie neuskodi, ze? Kolik jen metru meri na vysku tato budova dostavena v roce 1953? Ziskate hodnotu "J". Kdyz stojite pred ni, je vskutku ohromna... Jen uvnitr to pry vypada stale hure..
5. And a little bit of history. What is the height of this building which was finished in 1953? You get the number "J".

6

6. Pred malou chvilkou jsme byli jen par set kilometru odtud, ale protoze zde rostou mrakodrapy jak houby po desti, jeden navrat neuskodi. Tady je to ale opravdu snadne - nazev budovy je napsany primo na budove. "K" je pocet pismen ve jmene banky (shodne s prvnim slovem v nazvu budovy - prepsane do latinky samozrejme ) ktera zde sidli.
6. We were only few hundreds of kilometers far from here a moment ago. But skyscrapers are growing very quickly here, so we can repeat a visit in this part of the world again. This is very simple task - answer is directly in the picture. "K" is the number of letters (our letters transcription) in the name of bank which has HQ here (it is the first word in the name of the building too).

7

7. A jsme u cile.. Kolik nadzemnich pater je zde? Odpovedi je "L". Ponekud smesne s ohledem na predchozi mrakouse, ze? Ale je nas....
7. And we are at the end.. How many floors (above the ground) are there? The answer is "L". Really few when comparing to previous ones. But it is our skyscraper

Final coordinates :


N 50° 03.A + B + C + D + E - F - 2*G - H - J - K + 9


E 14° 26.I + 2*K - F - C - 2*L + C/4


Pokud vam vyjdou pouze dve cislice, doplnte pred ne nulu, hrajeme na tri desetinna mista.
If you will get two digits, add "zero" before them, we want three digits.

Pro opakované ztráty krabičky bylo provedeno mírné posunutí finálních souřadnic o pár metrů.

Snad na novém místě krabička vydrží lépe a déle.
