Once solved assign every letter of the alphabet a number value (A=1, B=2, C=3 ... Y=25, Z=26)

Add the values of each letter inside of the   YELLOW  squares together.  Multiply this by the value of the  GREEN   square and subtract eight.  Add this number to the posted North decimal minutes. 

           (  SUM of YELLOW   X   GREEN  )  - 8  =  __________

Add the values of each letter inside of the  RED   squares together.  Multiply this by the sum of the  BLUE  squares and then add thirty-one.  Add this number to the posted West decimal minutes

           (  SUM of RED   X   SUM of BLUE  )  + 31 =  __________

Puzzle Tips:

  • Only one word is plural:  the 's' has bee filled in for you.
  • I spelled "Regular" incorrectly when making the puzzle. Please fill it in as "Reguler"
  • The same coloured tiles do not necessarily represent the same letter.
  • You can check your solved co-ordinates at Geochecker.com:  Click Here to check your answers now.
  • Keep your solutions to the puzzle if you wish to complete "The Ultimate Puzzle Cache" that will come at a later date.
