I’m trying to convert an encrypted set of coordinates. Given: 04 33.135 533 17.961 The numbers 04 3.15 in the first set are red. The puzzle is supposedly based on PI, given as: 314159265358979 The first set of given numbers will (more than likely) start with 35 (instead of 04), the second set will probably start with 120 (instead of 533). Any ideas? ---
