Total all the numbers that are usually and scientifically associated with each answer. Multiply this total by 13533.84008 to get the last four digits of the cache’s N minutes followed by the last four digits of its W minutes.
* digital root – sum the digits of a number and re-sum until you get a single digit (eg. 5,678 > 26 > 8)
** alpha-numeric equivalent – equals a letter’s position in the alphabet (ie. A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.)
