puzzle help requested
« on: 16 March 2008, 20:22:43 »
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.....

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.....   ;)   :y
