Step 2 Continually sum the remaining numbers in each horizontal line until you are left with one digit and assign this to the letter on the RH side of the row. (eg If you were left with 2, 5, 7, 8 on the top row then: 2+5+7+8 = 22, 2+2 = 4. A=4)

Step 3 Insert these values into the coordinates below to find the cache location
