While at the library I found a thin dust-covered book entitled "The Book of Riddles". It contained 19 out of order numbered pages. The page numbers went 8, 18, 11, 15, 5, 4, 14, 9, 19, 1, 7, 17, 6, and 16. These numbers themselves must be one of the included riddles. But alas! I am baffled. Maybe you will have better luck at solving this old time riddle than I did.
Your task is to discover what the next 5 page numbers will be. Call them A,B,C,D, and E, and use those numbers in the equations provided to get the final coordinates.
All letters have the possibility of being 1, 2, or 3 place numbers.
(A+B+C-D)xE=R
(B+C+D-E)xA=S
(C+D+E-A)xB=T
(D+E+A-B)xC=U
(E+A+B-C)xD=V
(Sx2)+V-U+R+2=YYY
(RxU)-T=ZZZ
Solve for N34 38.YYY W112 11.ZZZ
