The Epochal Trip of Mr.Kacirek to the 18th Century (GC45WC5)
Type: multi micro cacheCoordinates: N 49° 35.459 E 017° 15.022
This cache originally tells us a story of Mr. Kacirek, who accidentally appears in the 18th century and discovers the city of Olomouc and its looks of that time. The story itself is very long, so we will just list the stages you have to visit in order to complete the formula and get the final coordinates.
Stage 1: N 49°35.459 E 017°15.022 (Theresian gate)
Find the writing "????. M. THERESIA, D.G.R.I.G.H.B.R., ????" and replace the question marks by a four-digit number, giving you letter A.
Stage 2: N 49°35.507 E 017°15.085 (Uhelná street)
Count the number of little stakes on the buildings on the left side of the street and it gives you letter B.
Stage 3: N 49°35.516 E 017°15.143 (Lower square - Dolni namesti)
Stand in front of the pub "Hanacka hospoda" and find the archery. Now search for the date when Leopold Mozart and his wife visited this house - that gives you letter C.
Stage 4: N 49°35.562 E 017°15.316 (Hrnčířská street)
Count the number of vertical rods in the grate of the loophole and get letter D.
Stage 5: N 49°35.609 E 017°15.167 (Kozí street)
Count the number of arcs with small roofs joining the opposite houses in the whole street and get letter E.
Stage 6: N 49°35.627 E 017°15.107 (Upper/Main square)
FInd the gothic archery on the wall of the townhall and count the number of small funny heads in the lower part of the archery. That gives you letter F.
Stage 7: N 49°35.633 E 017°15.029 (the Holy Trinity column on the Upper square)
Count all the figures of angels along the column inits lowest part/storey and get letter G.
Stage 8: N 49°35.700 E 017°15.065 (St. Moritz church)
Count the number of figures/people, depicted in the sculpture in the wall of the church and get letter H.
Stage 9: N 49°35.669 E 017°15.264 (St. Michael's cathedral)
Go to the Jan Sarkander's chapel and find the date when St. Jan Sarkander was labeled a traitor, and get letter I.
Stage 10: N 49°35.881 E 017°15.725 (St. Wenceslas cathedral)
Next to the cathedral there is the St. Anne's church. Go in front of it, find the board and search for the date when it was built. That gives you the last letter, J.
Now do the addition of all numbers (letters) you got to get each of them only one-digit. E.g. addition of no. 69 is 6+9=15, 1+5=6, so the final number is 6.
The final formula is:
N 49° 35.(F-B+C) (J-H) (D-B)
E 017° 15.(I-D+E) (A-G) (E)
Don't multiply the brackets, they represent the positions of coordinates.
