Have you Sudoku'd?

Check here for tips on how to solve. This puzzle has become very popular in the U.S. recently, after spreading like wildfire from Japan to the U.K. There is a lengthy and interesting history of Sudoku if you are interested.

Go to the listed coordinates to find some numbers that you need to put into the Sudoku puzzle below. You are looking for an area code (734) phone number.

The seven actual digits of the phone number are A B C D E F G respectively. Put these numbers into the Sudoku grid below, then solve it. After you've solved the puzzle, you will have all the numbers you need for the final.

 

The final (before adjustment noted above) is located at:
