You will note that several of the cells in the above puzzle contain red circles. You will arrive at a value for each of these cells by determining the position in the alphabet for the letter in the cells. For example, if a circled cell contained the letter “C”, the numeric value would be 3 because “C” is the third letter in the alphabet. The following list defines each of the circled cells:

  • A = The 4th letter of 5-across.
  • B = The 4th letter of 3-down.
  • C = The 1st letter of 6-down.
  • D = The 1st letter of 7-across.
  • E = The 5th letter of 9-across.
  • F = The 1st letter of 12-across.
  • G = The 3rd letter of 11-down.
  • H = The 4th letter of 10-down.

To find the correct minutes of latitude make the following calculation and add the result to the posted value.

A + B + G + 3
1000

To find the correct minutes of longitude make the following calculation and add the result to the posted value.

B + C + D + E + F + H + 3
1000
