The final puzzle requires you to enter map coordinates (latitude and longitude) over at Mapquest, to discover Part 1 of the final answer.

(Use the upper portion with degrees, minutes, and seconds.)

 

To obtain the coordinates, you must first solve the following:

Latitude

On Day 1, part of your challenge was to crack a numeric code. Take the number you wound up with and double it.

This is your location's latitude degrees.

On Day 2 we asked you to name seven famous album covers.

One of those albums was released on a date (month/day only) that has something in common with our pal Ken Jennings' historic run on Jeopardy!

(The two events separated by 22 years to the day.)

When you have the month and day, express them like you would in Europe (dd/mm).

These two numbers, in that order, are your location's other latitude coordinates for minutes and seconds, respectively.

 

 

Longitude

On Day 3, part of your challenge was to name the man who invented a certain monophonic synthesizer.

Figure out how old he was when he died and add that number to the reverse of the same.

Change this two-digit sum from positive to negative and you have your location's longitude degrees.

Part of your challenge on Day 4 was to figure out what object was hidden in a cryptic puzzle.

When this object's diameter is 1, its circumference is what well-known mathematical constant?

The number to the left of the decimal in said constant is your location's longitude minutes.

The first two numbers to the right of the decimal point are your location's longitude seconds.

When you have all your coordinates, plug them into the Mapquest tool.

Once you land on the map, zoom in until you find yourself diagonally across the road from a famous stadium.

Enter the name of the stadium in the box below to be taken to the final question of this month's 5-day trivia hunt.
