So close
Most of you got it right. Some were very, very close.
213
of you guessed row 4, column 24. The most common wrong answer. I can't explain this one.
338
had the right row, just not the right column.
19
simply flipped it, writing row 11, column 4 instead of row 4, column 11. We've all been there.
89
went for the far corner, row 24, column 24. Maybe that's how they read the clue about the treasure being in the "last square".
Mildly interesting
