Another in the increasingly popular informal Mystery series, Only Connect, by Jesmond Lynam. Thanks to the CO for letting us contribute once again. The puzzle is very simple, use the co-ordinates below to identify the missing information and this will lead you to a connection. Couldn’t be simpler. Note the additional information to identify the connecting word, provided to (hopefully) minimise ambiguity.
S38 18.718 E144 39.871 = A (two words)
N42 32.559 W83 17.138 = B (two words)
N50 47.572 E000 02.886 = C (two words: commonly known as…)
S05 08.896 E138 12.763 = D (two words)
S02 11.038 W176 46.341 = E (two words)
Connection word = F (the number of vowels in an 11 letter word describing what happened)
Count the number of letters in each case. The cache can be found at: N54 57.X W001 38.Y
Where:
(B + C) x A x (D - E) = X
(D x F + E) x C - A = Y
A magnetic micro can be found at an appropriate location. This is likely to be busy at certain times, so please use stealth.
