It goes without saying that there’s nothing at the posted coordinates other than an opportunity to get something to satisfy your hunger, though I suppose a good puzzle offers its own kind of mental enrichment.
I’m assuming most if not all folks have heard of the show; basically seeing how far one would go for the glory/cash prize, and it is probable that most competitors pushed themselves well past their normal limits.

With that in mind, I decided to saddle up and deliver something fair for everyone, so I’m fully confident that if you can’t answer the following questions, AI or the big G ‘should’.
