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, you had to ID five game show theme songs. Google "casttv" + the name of the first TV show you unnearthed, + the following related sentence:

 

Jacob plays Money Game in hopes of winning a car!


The correct combination will lead you to a page of results mentioning an episode of said show’s 37th season.

You’re looking for the 4-digit episode number of the 37th season in which Jacob plays the Money Game.

The first two digits of the episode number are your latitude minutes, while the second two digits are your latitude seconds.

 

All but one of the men camouflaged on Day 2 successfully assassinated someone.

What number president did the unsuccessful assassin try to murder? This is your answer for latitude degrees.

 

 

 

Longitude

On Day 3, you had to solve a cryptogram puzzle. The final answer was a word turned backwards.

Take the original word, before you turned it backwards, and add the letter P in front of it.

You should now have a homophone for the name of a famous comic strip.

The man who created the comic strip lived in Minnesota for some time before picking up and moving his family to Sebastopol, California.

In what year did this man make the move? The last two digits of this year are your longitude minutes.

 

On Day 4, we asked you to name six music groups based on photos.

One of the photos pictured a famous dirigible, the ZRS-4, built in the late 1920s/early 1930s in the then-largest hanger in the world, in Akron, OH.

Eventually, this zeppelin crashed into the Atlantic, killing everyone on board.

How many people, in total, were killed?
Expressed as a negative number, this total is your longitude degrees.

What year did the zeppelin crash? The last two digits of this year are your longitude seconds.

 

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

Once you land on the map, zoom in all the way until you find yourself near the intersection of two famous streets in Manhattan.

What world-famous apartment building sits at this intersection? (on the north-west side)

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