Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the posted coordinates.

<" />
Each grape is the sum of the two grapes immediately above it; e.g., A+B=F. The top row contains only single-digit numbers. All numbers are real, positive, whole numbers. The grapes at either end of the second row have the same value as the single grapes diagonally above them--E=A and I=D.

Figure out the value of each grape. (A few are done to get you started.) Then insert those values into the following equations. Please solve the minutes and decimal minutes separately.


N47° Minutes.Decimal Minutes
     Minutes = O-M
     Decimal Minutes =S x (D-C) +K - E

W122° Minutes.Decimal Minutes
     Minutes = J - G
     Decimal Minutes =P x I


Thanks to PhilNi for writing a macro to check that there is a unique solution and for placing this cache for me. Thanks to Wazzzzu for beta-testing the puzzle.
Any problems or errors that remain are all mine!
