Step 1: Solve the cryptogram.

Step 2: Next create a graph with dots – 16 columns x 13 rows. Across the top of the dots, write 1 through 16. Then transfer the decoded letters that are in (parathesis) into a column on the left - since there are 13 rows each row should have 1 letter in front of the each row. Write them in order as they appear in the sentence. After you have placed the letters into their spaces, you will use them as a guide to completing the coords.

Step 3: Use each letter-number combinations next to the diagram and draw your solution for the cache placement. For example E10-T10, the first pair represents the dots where Row E and column 10 intersect and where Row T and column 10 intersect. You are to draw a line between these two dots. When you have finished drawing lines between the dots as indicated, you will have completed the puzzle.
