This is not a hard puzzle but as my daughter flower-bud has been
learning in school, "the answer can change greatly if you don't
follow instructions exactly, so I am not asking any more than a 3rd
grader has been told, follow directions carefully to get the
coordinates.
1) Every intersection will reveals a letter (There are 20 shaded in
light green).
2) Write down all 20 letters in a continuous line using the
following order: Left to Right, Top to Bottom.
3) Each letter must be converted into the numerical position it
falls in alphabetically.
4) Now you need to group every 2 numbers together so that you have
10 pairs.
5) Now add together each pair of numbers so that you will have 10
numbers.
Were almost done !!!
6) Convert these 10 numbers using the Crypto-Comparator table to
get your final 10 coordinate numbers.
7) The first 5 numbers (in their current order) will become the 5
remaining numbers needed for the North coordinates
8) The last 5 numbers (in their current order) will become the 5
remaining numbers needed for the West coordinates.
