Hämeenkatu as seen from the railway station

Hämeenkatu is a boulevard, which begins from the east at the Tampere railway station, continues westward to the Hämeenpuisto park, and is covered with cobble stones for its entire length. The street also contains the Hämeensilta bridge crossing the Tammerkoski rapids with gorgeous views on both sides. The bridge that Hämeenkatu runs across Tammerkoski is decorated with four human statues, one at each corner of the bridge. Of these statues, three represent men and one represents a woman.

Eastwards from the railway station, Hämeenkatu is followed by the 700-metre (2,300 ft)-long Itsenäisyydenkatu, which then diverges into Sammonkatu and Teiskontie. In the west, Hämeenkatu continues first as Pirkankatu and then as Pispalan valtatie.

Notes

gollark: Perhaps the answer lies in competition maths problems. Those generally have something weird like the year as a solution, so they could probably be tweaked to 1, right?

gollark: Of course, a smart person would just type it into wolframalpha. I'll check if it accepts this.

gollark: Yes, that.

gollark: Dan just said it had to be a very hard problem which is also hard to understand for laymen with an answer of 1.

gollark: I see.
