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 K is in the 1st row and the 7th column of the diagram and therefore it has a value of 8. Other K’s may have different values. Each 8 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. You will then need to figure the numerical value of the letters in the colored boxes, do some math, and the coordinates will be in hand.
The coordinates are: N 45 31. ABC W 122 53. DEF
ABC= (Pink boxes * 2) + Yellow Boxes - Gray Boxes - 52
DEF= Green Boxes - 5
