The series received critical acclaim throughout its run, with critics hailing the show as one of the best on Television, breaking ground as the first show to incorporate a real time element, a ticking clock and split screens. The series ran for 9 seasons with a TV movie in between seasons 6 and 7. The series will return again with a Spinoff in the works for 2017. While the show received its fair share of criticism and controversy, it might be best if the adults work on this one, but otherwise a family friendly cache is waiting for you. The cache title is of no significance to the crossword answers or clues, just a reference to the real-time narration at the beginning of each episode of 24.
The posted co-ordinates are bogus and you will not find the cache there. In order to obtain the co-ordinates for Ground Zero, you need to complete the crossword with the correct answers and then make some calculations with the equations provided. The puzzle shouldn’t be overly difficult to complete as it was my preference to create something doable for those who struggle with puzzle caches like myself. The answers are all obtainable; some will require a little research and some may be tricky. As usual, Google is your friend, You Tube, Wikipedia, etc. Perhaps you know someone who loves the show or you could just watch the series!
Plenty of room for swaps so bring the kids along.

Note: the equations refer to the total number of those letters that appear in the completed crossword.
A = A’s - N’s - V's
B = S’s - T’s
C = O’s - B’s
D = P's + G's
E = total number of D’s
F = total number of J’s
G = L’s + Q's
H = E’s - I’s - F's
I = M's + W's
J = C's - Z's
