Geocache Description:

Kesku na tomto miste pochopitelne nehledejte, privedla by vas k budove Statni opery Praha, ktera je nyni organizacne zaclenena pod Narodni divadlo. Keska je odsud trochu vzdalena, ale dobre dostupna MHD.


Keska je holdem jiz zanikle kesce Symfonicka / Symphonic - GC1RMM1, ktera snad bude nekdy obnovena, a trochu jednodussi kesce Czech Classical Music - GC1H1Y7.

 

Bezny navstevnik opery by s touto keskou problem mit nemel, ti ostatni se trochu potrapi. Urcite se ale najde nekdo, kdo vam pomuze. Betatesting a i nasledne logy ukazaly, ze to mozna neni uplne nejjednodussi, tak jsme pridali hvezdicku a upustili od puvodniho nazvu Opera pro zacatecniky. Kazdopadne jsou to vse ukazky z oper (v jednom pripade se jedna o svitu z opery), ktere byly v poslednich letech v Praze uvadeny, zadna velka exotika v tom neni.

 

K nalezeni kesky si musite prehrat pripravene video a urcit z jakych oper pochazeji jednotlive ukazky.

 

Chteli jsme setrit autorska prava a prava k nahravkam, takze jsme vybrali pouze starsi volne nahravky vydane pred rokem 1962. Omluvte tedy horsi kvalitu zaznamu, kterou vam vykompenzuji hlasy takovych legend, jako Cesare Siepi, Maria Callas, Fjodor Saljapin, Tito Gobbi, Kirsten Flagstad, Enrico Caruso a dalsich (berte to jako napovedu).

 

Abyste si mohli lusteni patricne vychutnat, jsou vybrany delsi ukazky, dohromady je to hodina poslechu.

 

Jakmile identifikujete vsechny opery, odpovezte na tyto otazky a urcete k nim odpovidajici hodnoty:

Ukazka c. 1 = [Pocet pismen v originalnim nazvu opery] - 8

Ukazka c. 2 = [Pocet pismen v originalnim nazvu opery] + 2

Ukazka c. 3 = [Pocet pismen v prijmeni postavy, ktera zpiva arii]

Ukazka c. 4 = [Pocet pismen v prijmeni autora] ÷ 3

Ukazka c. 5 = [Pocet pismen ve jmenu postavy, ktera zpiva arii] - 9

Ukazka c. 6 = [Pocet pismen v originalnim nazvu opery] - 1

Ukazka c. 7 = [Pocet pismen v originalnim nazvu opery] ÷ 4

Ukazka c. 8 = [Pocet pismen v prijmeni autora] ÷ 2

Ukazka c. 9 = [Pocet pismen v prijmeni autora] - 3

Ukazka c. 10 = [Pocet pismen v prijmeni autora] ÷ 6

Ukazka c. 11 = {[Pocet pismen v originalnim nazvu opery] - 4} ÷ 3

Ukazka c. 12 = [Pocet pismen v originalnim nazvu opery] - 10

Ukazka c. 13 = [Pocet pismen v originalnim nazvu opery] ÷ 5 - 2

Ukazka c. 14 = [Pocet pismen v prijmeni autora] - 6

Ukazka c. 15 = [Pocet pismen v originalnim nazvu opery] x 2 - 5

 

Ukazky (s jim odpovidajicimi hodnotami) ted seradte chronologicky od nejstarsi opery po nejnovejsi (podle data svetove premiery). Kdyz ted mate za sebou chronologicky serazene hodnoty odpovidajici jednotlivym ukazkam, dostali jste vysledne souradnice.

 

Lusteni bude trvat o dost dele, nez samotne hledani, ktere je na miste jasne, snad az prilis, ale doufame, ze se krabicka neztrati - ukladejte ji tak, aby nebyla videt.

 

Historie verzi:

8.4.2012 - krabicka ulozena, prvni obsah kese jsou hracicky, divadelni suvenyry a TB

16.4.2012 - publikovana

18.4.2012 - presunuta na nove misto a upraveny hodnoty odpovidajici nekterym ukazkam - pripocitejte 136 k puvodnim severnim souradnicim a odcitejte 372 od puvodnich vychodnich souradnic (pokud se dostanete do minusu, je to v poradku, proste o jednu uberte i 4. cifru od konce)

13.5.2013 - zmena nazvu kese z Opera pro zacatecniky na Opera pro pokrocile

 

ENGLISH:

 

The cache is a tribute to the archived cache Symfonicka / Symphonic - GC1RMM1, which I hope to be renewed soon, and to a bit easier cache Czech Classical Music - GC1H1Y7.

 

Common opera visitor should not have problems with the cache, while the others may experience some difficulties. But you will certainly find someone to help you. Betatesting and following logs showed that it might not be necessarily easiest and we have added one more difficulty star and changed the name from Opera for Beginners to Opera for Advances:-) Anyway, it is all from operas (an opera suite in one case) which have been performed in Prague in recent years, there is no exotic stuff in there.

 

In order to find the cache you will need to play this video and find out from which operas the individual excerpts are.

 

We wanted to respect the copyright and thus chose only older public domain recordings released prior to 1962. Excuse the lower recording quality which should be compensated by legendary voices of Cesare Siepi, Maria Callas, Fjodor Saljapin, Tito Gobbi, Kirsten Flagstad, Enrico Caruso and others (take it as a hint).

 

To allow you more enjoyable mystery solving, we chose longer excerpts - alltogether 1 hour.

 

As soon as you will identify all operas, answer the following questions and find the correct values for each excerpt.

Excerpt No. 1 = [Number of letters in the original opera title] - 8

Excerpt No. 2 = [Number of letters in the original opera title] + 2

Excerpt No. 3 = [Number of letters in the surname of the role to which the aria belongs]

Excerpt No. 4 = [Number of letters in the surname of the author] ÷ 3

Excerpt No. 5 = [Number of letters in the name of the role to which the aria belongs] - 9

Excerpt No. 6 = [Number of letters in the original opera title] - 1

Excerpt No. 7 = [Number of letters in the original opera title] ÷ 4

Excerpt No. 8 = [Number of letters in the surname of the author] ÷ 2

Excerpt No. 9 = [Number of letters in the surname of the author] - 3

Excerpt No. 10 = [Number of letters in the surname of the author] ÷ 6

Excerpt No. 11 = {[Number of letters in the original opera title] - 4} ÷ 3

Excerpt No. 12 = [Number of letters in the original opera title] - 10

Excerpt No. 13 = [Number of letters in the original opera title] ÷ 5 - 2

Excerpt No. 14 = [Number of letters in the surname of the author] - 6

Excerpt No. 15 = [Number of letters in the original opera title] x 2 - 5

 

Excerpts (with the relevant values) order chronologically from the oldest opera to the newest (according to dates of the first performance). Now, you have the values belonging to the excerpts ordered chronologically and these are the final coordinates.

 

The solving will take much more time than the cache searching. The cache placement is quite clear and the place is a bit muggled, place therefore the cache as it was, not to be visible.

 

Versions history:

8.4.2012 - placement of the cache

16.4.2012 - published

18.4.2012 - moved to a new location with amended questions - add 136 to the original northern coordinate and subtract 372 from the last five digits of the original eastern coordinate.

13.5.2013 - change of cache name
