Popis cache / Cache description:
[CZ] Ahojky, tahle kratka multicache vas zavede k Virske prehrade. V ni se sice nevykoupete (nesmi se to, prehrada je zdrojem pitne vody), ale zato se pak muzete vyskrabat na okolni kopce a udelat si vylet treba k rozhledne Karasin.

Celá trasa i s navratem k vychozim souradnicim se da zvladnout za 1 hodinu. S kocarkem (terennim) se da od startu ke kesi dojit taky, ale na hraz musite hezky po silnici, a ne lesni zkratkou.
Update: V kterekmoli rocnim obdobi je nyni mozne celou trasu projit zcela legalne, bez poruseni zakazu.

Prehrada na rece Svratce, jejiz 76,5 m vysoka prehradni zed zadrzuje pres 9 km dlouhe jezero, byla vybudovana v letech 1947 - 57. K jejimu komplexu patri vyrovnavaci nadrz 2 km po proudu reky. Nadrz slouzi jako zdroj pitne vody a soucasne je vyuzita k pohonu hydroelektrarny. Prehradni jezero o rozloze 232 ha, lezici v uzkem hlubokem udoli, zaplavilo byvale obce Chudobin, Hamry, a cast Korouhvice.

Na uvedenych souradnicich neni cache, ale jen startovni bod (stage 1):

   N1 = 49° 33,732'
   E1 = 16° 18,566'

Poznamenejte si pocet hnedych, kovovych, cca 1m vysokych stojanu, ktere tu vycnivaji ze zeme. To bude hodnota "A". Pak muzete pokracovat k bodu 2:

   N2 = 49° 33,874'
   E2 = 16° 18,579'

Pobliz bodu 2 je na prehradni zdi napevno pripevnen maly jerab, ke kteremu vede kovovy zebrik s urcitym poctem ochrannych kruhovych vyztuzi. Pocet techto vyztuzi oznacime jako "B" (liche cislo). Mrknete na obrazek, pokud byste si nevedeli rady.
Cache je schovana na souradnicich:

   N3 = N1 + A*B + A + 2
   E3 = E1 + B*(B*B + A)

(souradnice se scitaji jako cela cisla, tzn. N49° 12.345' + 555 = N49° 12.900')

IN: delo, krysa, visací zámek, skládacka

Hint: soucet vsech cislic v zaverecnych souradnicich je 73.

[EN] 76 meter tall dam on the Svratka river near the Vír township was built in years 1947 - 1957. The dam reservoir is used as a source of drinking water and for hydroelectric power plant.

Cache is not located at these coordinates, there is only starting point (stage 1):

   N1 = 49° 33,732'
   E1 = 16° 18,566'

Nearby are brown metallic props (height approx. 1 meter). Count them, it will be number "A". Then you can continue to stage 2:

   N2 = 49° 33,874'
   E2 = 16° 18,579'

There is a small crane attached to the dam wall near the stage 2. This crane is accessible (for authorized persons only, not for public!) via a ladder which is secured with several round mountings. Count the (odd) number of these mountings, it will be number "B". When in doubts, look at the picture.
Cache is hidden at final coordinates:

   N3 = N1 + A*B + A + 2
   E3 = E1 + B*(B*B + A)

(count coordinates as integer numbers, ie. N49° 12.345' + 555 = N49° 12.900')

Hint: crossfoot number of all the numerals in finall coordinates is 73.
