Central Museum of the Armed Forces of Russian Federation - one of the largest military history museums in the world.

It was founded in December 1919. Modern building of the museum opened its doors on May 8, 1965.
The museum exposition is located in 24 halls and on the open area. The collection has more than 800 thousand exhibits, among which are:

- Relics related to the life and activities of the heroes of Russian history, both ordinary and famous generals and statesmen;

- Flags, awards, weapons and equipment, items of clothing and equipment of Russian armed forces and the armies of other countries, including the trophy.

- The outdoor observation deck presents more than 150 samples of military equipment and weapons of the Soviet Army and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: from artillery during the Civil War of 1918-1922. to modern ballistic missiles.

I propose to take a walk through the halls of the museum, see the exhibits and collect the number needed to capture the cache.

Hall №1 devoted to the Russian army until the 19th century. Find the model 6-pound cannon with limber. It is written number. The sum of digits = A.

In the hall №2 you can learn about the state of the Russian army until 1914. In a separate showcase exhibited a model of the legendary cruiser "Aurora". The label indicates the number of guns caliber 152 mm. This is the number B.

The hall №8 describes the state of the Soviet army on the eve of the Great Patriotic War. Find a picture of "The bombing of the Finnish station." In the right part of the picture find the number of green railcar. The sum of digits = C.

In a separate hall №12 on the ground floor you will see a diorama of the Battle of Stalingrad "There is no land for us behind the Volga". Find some real wheels. Their quantity - D.

Climb to the second floor. Here, in the hall of "All for the front, everything for victory" find the lathe from the workshop for the production of ammunition. The sum of digits of its number - is E.

Finally, you will go to the central hall of the museum. On the walls - a memorial plaques with the names of Heroes of the Soviet Union. Find sculpture "Victory". To her left is the bottom plate is dedicated to Lieutenant. The number of letters in the last name - is F (second line from the bottom).

The following halls of the museum tell about the post-war period and many local military conflicts. In the hall is represented №22-23 cabin Su-25 aircraft. The sum of the numbers side number = G.

Next, calculate the coordinates of the formula:

N55° 4(A-C+1).(E-C+D)(G+1)(C+1)
E37° 3(D*3).G(F/5)(B-3)'

Magnetic capsule is located in a public place, on the back side of the object mounted on the building.
