Each of the letters in the diagram has a numerical value, which you can calculate by adding the number of the row and the column in which the letter is shown. For example, a P is in the 1st row and the 4th column of the diagram and therefore it has a value of 5. Other P’s may have different values. Each 5 may stand for a different letter.
Below, each group of numbers represents a word. You must determine the proper letter for each number. It is a good idea to try to calculate the letters with the highest and lowest values first. Cross out each letter as you use it. All the letters will be used, but only once. When all the blanks are filled in, an important quote will be revealed
The coordinates are: N 45 30. ABC W 122 54. DEF
ABC= (Total numerical value of letters in Pink boxes + Total numerical value of letters in Green boxes) *2 + 6
DEF= Total numerical value of letters in Pink boxes + Total numerical value of letters in Green boxes - 4
Updated 7/26/2024: The hiding place for the original cache was cut down - again. I moved the cache a bit. AFTER you solve the puzze and check your coordinates, ADD +.002 to your solved NORTH Coordinates and SUBTRACT N -.006 to your solved West Coordinates to locate the new container in the new spot. This is a different type of container than before.
Please use stealth while going after this cache.
