The following piccy is a puzzle that should generate a set of northings and eastings coords for a puzzle I have stumbled across.  Despite resurrecting schoolboy physics, I got somewhere thats in the vicinity of Crathes Castle on Deeside and is not correct.

Could some clever peeps who are more experienced in such things perhaps give me a wee assist and work out whats the correct solution?  Am guessing that it should be somewhere within The Kingdom.

I think I got it wrong in the series/parrallel sums bit as opposed to the actual values.....

ta.....

Sorry but I assume I'm missing something... maybe a brain cos it means nothing to me :-? :-? :-?

i think you have stuffed us all there H21,  

[CaptainZok]

Assuming your using the numbers similar to below?

[hotel21]

I know that it is the colour banding upon resistors to show their value but, as said, I made an error in the sums......

Am thinking someone who deals daily with such things may be better positioned to assist.....

Correct, Cap'n.  its the series/parrallel bit thats stuffing my calculator!!

Good stuff that...........I think i will stick to building coolant emulsion oil systems with friction and lubrication boundaries

[MikeDundee]

I think its E:32 7 N: 73 1

[Marks DTM Calib]

Quick cal gives:

E:549

N:299

Not checked it though....

[hotel21]

should generate something in the format N 56'28.181" W2'59.341"

[Marks DTM Calib]

Lol.....being an engineer, I ditched the decimel points as non real values!

[Andy B]

Assuming your using the numbers similar to below?

I was only ever taught a very non PC way of remembering the colour codes!    

[CaptainZok]

I get N 56  21 396 77 which sums to 550
        W  3  13 200 83 which sums to 299
Mean anything to you?

[Marks DTM Calib]

N - 550

W - 299

Or

N - 56 - 21 - 396 - 77

W - 3 - 13 - 200 - 83

Gents, that sounds like a concensus and places the end location near the Fife end of the Tay Road bridge.  Thanks for that!!  Will let you know how I get on.....
