Geocache Description:

Gara Predeal

[RO] Gara din Predeal se afla la altitudinea de 1000 m, fiind cel mai inalt punct atins de CFR, iar sub platforma ei se afla izvoarele naturale ale raului Prahova.
[EN] Predeal railway-station is situated at 1000 m altitude, being the highest point from the CFR network; under its platform you can find the natural sources of Prahova river.

[RO] Cutia nu se gaseste la coordonatele date; pentru a-i afla coordonatele reale, va trebui sa faci apel la cunostintele de istorie, cat si de matematica.

Cutia este ascunsa la N 45° 30.(111+Z) E 025° 34.(4*Z), unde Z = z * 10^4; "z" se determina din ecuatia figurii geometrice (in spatiu) ce da forma acoperisului garii (retine doar primele 4 zecimale), cu ajutorul valorilor de mai jos:
a = anul in care este inaugurata prima cladire a garii;
b = anul cand gara este grav avariata in luptele duse intre armatele germana si romana in Pasul Predeal;
x = anul in care este inaugurata actuala cladire a garii;
y = anul in care a fost ridicat monumentul “Grupul Statuar Aparatorii Predeaului”, in cinstea eroilor cazuti in primul razboi mondial.


[EN] the box is not at the given coordinates; to find the real ones, you'll have to use your knowledge in History and also Math.

The box is hidden at N 45° 30.(111+Z) E 025° 34.(4*Z), where Z = z * 10^4; you'll have to find out "z" from the equation of a space geometric figure, who gives the shape of the rail-station roof (take only the first 4 decimals), using the below values:
a = the year when the first building of the railway-station was inaugurated;
b = the year when the station was severely damaged because of the battle between German and Romanian armies in Predeal Pass;
x = the year when the actual building of the railway-station was inaugurated;
y = the year when the monument “Grupul Statuar Aparatorii Predeaului” was raised, in the memory of the fallen heroes of World War 1.
