Uma ideia excelente que acabou por se tornar um desastre!
Pretendíamos fazer um programa de computador para cálculo de
coordenadas GPS.
Infelizmente, programadores talentosos são difíceis de
encontrar.
Portanto decidimos experimentar este
novo serviço. A
príncipio, tudo parecia perfeito. O programador apareceu a horas, e
parecia que estava a trabalhar empenhadamente. Cerca de 10 minutos
depois fomos até ao seu computador ver o que estava a
fazer!!!
Aqui começaram os problemas!!! A única coisa que aparecia no ecrã
era isto:
46344800039575674200639571229428728488308872472394597736423
Claramente, havia alguma necessidade de formação. Portanto,
mostrámos-lhe o resto do teclado, e não apenas a parte numérica!
Pareceu-nos que percebeu, e fomo-nos embora beber um café. Quando
regressámos, uns 20 minutos mais tarde, fomos espreitar o seu
computador novamente! Tudo o que tinha feito entretanto era
isto:
..(\d)4+(.)0*(..).(\S{3})\w{3}(\S+?)6\d(.).*?7(.+?)[0-2](.)9.*?[0-8]+9(\d\d\d)
Isto não estava a funcionar! Decidimos levá-lo a um centro de
formação para ele ter uma semana de formação intensiva. Pareceu um
bom aluno, pois conseguiu obter a certificação!
Segunda-feira de manhã, apresentou-se novamente a horas. Dirigiu-se
para o seu computador e para garantir que agora as coisas já
estavam a correr bem, cerca de meia hora depois fomos verificar o
que estava no monitor! Para nossa surpresa a única coisa que lá
aparecia era isto:
$1$2 $3.$4 $5$6 $7$8.$9
Já chega!!! Mandámo-lo de volta e pedimos um reembolso!
O único problema é que agora não fazemos ideia onde ficaram as
coordenadas da cache! Podem-nos ajudar???
WAYPOINT DE ACESSO À CACHE: retirem 63 às décimas de minuto
da latitude e 17 às décimas de minuto da longitude das coordenadas
obtidas

A great idea that turned out to be bad! Our intention was to make a
computer program able to calculate GPS coordinates.
Unfortunately, good programming talent is hard to find.
So we decided to try this
new service. At
first, everything seemed great!!! The programmer showed up right on
time, and it seemed he was working hard. After about 10 minutes we
went to his computer to see what he was doing!!!
Here the problems started!!! All that showed up on his screen was
this:
46344800039575674200639571229428728488308872472394597736423
Clearly, some training was needed. So we showed him how to use the
whole keyboard, not just the number pad. He seemed to get it, so we
went off to get some coffee. When we returned 20 minutes later, we
looked again at his computer. All he had added was this:
..(\d)4+(.)0*(..).(\S{3})\w{3}(\S+?)6\d(.).*?7(.+?)[0-2](.)9.*?[0-8]+9(\d\d\d)
This was just not working! So we took him into a training center
and gave him a week's worth of training. He seemed a good student,
he got his certification.
Monday morning, he was there right on time. He went to his
computer, and to assure that now everything was ok, about half an
hour after we went to verify what was on the screen! Surprisingly,
everything that showed up was this:
$1$2 $3.$4 $5$6 $7$8.$9
That was enough!!! We sent him back and demanded a full
refund.
The only problem is, now we have no idea where are the coordinates
of the cache! Can you help us???
ACCESS WAYPOINT TO THE CACHE: remove 63 from the tenths of
minute of the latitude and 17 from the tenths of the longitude of
the obtained coordinates
