Picture slightly adapted ;-) from "How big is a foot?", by Rolf Myller
Pie de rey
Un calibre o pie de rey es un ingenioso instrumento de precisión para medir longitudes exteriores, interiores y profundidades (¡todo en uno!).
Y un pie de rey, cuenta la leyenda, fue lo que se usó para definir el pie inglés. Lo que no deja de ser sorprendente teniendo en cuenta... ¿habéis comprobado alguna vez si vuestro pie mide un pie? ;-)
Alrededor de las coordenadas iniciales encontraréis nada menos que 40 pies de rey, con una curiosa historia. Pero vamos a elegir uno.
Por cierto, la estatua de las coordenadas iniciales tiene detrás otra interesante historia que relaciona nada menos que a Velázquez con Galileo Galilei. No os la perdáis.
Para dar por encontrado el caché tendréis que localizar el pie de la imagen y subir una foto con vuestro nick sin revelar el nombre del rey (ver abajo).
No enviéis la foto por el centro de mensajes. No se permiten logs de grupos: deben aparecer todos los nicks.
Se borrarán los logs que no adjunten la foto que se pide.
King's foot
A Vernier caliper (in Spanish, "pie de rey" = "king's foot") is a very clever precision instrument for measuring the external and internal length as well as the depth of an object (all in one!).
And legend has it that the English foot definition was based on a king's foot, which is really awesome, taking into account... have you ever checked if your foot measures a foot in length? ;-)
Around the posted coordinates you'll find as many as 40 king's feet, with a curious story. We've chosen just one of them.
By the way, the statue at the posted coordinates has another interesting story relating Velázquez with Galileo Galilei. Make sure you don't miss it.
To claim this cache as Found you'll have to locate the foot shown in the image and upload your own picture showing your nickname next to it (please see below).
Please don't send the picture through the message centre. No group logs: please depict all nicks.
Logs without the requested picture will be deleted.
P.S.: no reveléis en vuestra foto / log el nombre del dueño del pie, por favor, para que los siguientes "disfruten" buscándolo por su cuenta.
P.S.: the foot's owner wishes to remain anonymous, so please do not reveal his name in your picture / log. Thank you.
