To determine the values of ABC and XYZ, you'll need to count the sprinkles on the big small donut near the donut shop (not the one attached to the building but the freestanding one) and do some maths.
ABC: "Small" freestanding donut at posted coordinates.
How many green sprinkles do you see? (Any shape)
Take this number and do the following:
- Add 1067
- Double the result
- Subtract 1066
- Divide that number in half
- Subtract your original number of green sprinkles
This number will be your ABC for the North coordinate.
XYZ: "Small" freestanding donut at posted coordinates.
How many yellow sprinkles do you see? (Any shape)
Take this number and do the following:
- Add 1733
- Double the result
- Subtract 1732
