See also Breckland Rally - Updates and latest Navigational Regulations for the Route Check Legend Version 3 - February 8, 2005 1 - Addition Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators Start with the map reference of TC1 then progressively add the value of the clues. You should have ended up with the following list of in order via map references. 1084490808 1145991413 1338991513 1353992303 1395992763 1419994633 1500095000 1759495478 There were two accepted possibilities of RC1 and RC2: 6/1 or 8/3. Some competitors rightly argued in my opinion that there was no definitive way of telling whether a double gradient was in fact two singles. The acceptable answers are based on one interpretation or another. RC1 - 6(8), RC2 - 1(3), RC3 - 5, RC4 - 6, RC5 - 2 Master Navigators only From the last reference in part 1 continue on the same theme except that the clues were values encoded in different number bases. The decoded values were: 51500460 73500705 81500635 84500455 39001267 44901353 94000390 102501257 95900063 29600780 giving via map references of 1810995938 1884496643 1965997278 2050497733 2089499000 2134400353 2228400743 2330902000 2426802063 2456402843 RC6 - 11, RC7 - 3, RC8 - 5, RC9 - 3, RC10 - 78 2 - Subtraction Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators Start with the map reference of TC2(Out) then progressively subtract the value of the clues. You should have ended up with the following list of in order via map references. (2559400558) 2485400278 2441999598 2370999263 2316498793 2300097408 2166996000 2145496000 The first was bracketed meaning avoid rather than via. Two acceptable answers to RC2 depending upon whether you counted
a double gradient as two singles. RC1 - 3, RC2 - 2/4, RC3 - 3(E5), RC4 - 58, RC5 - 4 Master Navigators only From the last reference in part 1 continue on the same theme except that the clues were unpunctuated. The punctuated differences were: 72500000 72900177 505 1845 100000400 117100535 282900500 100000745 giving via map references of 2072996000 2000095823 2000095318 2000093473 1900093073 1782992538 1500092038 1400091293 RC6 - 1996, RC7 - 5, RC8 - 5, RC9 - Y, RC10 - 4 3 - Multiplication Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators The spot heights were coded by multiplying their digits together, giving: 163 83 149 127 148 138 175 48 55 48 72 4 83 22 71 5 13 4 4 Two possible answers to RC4 because of disputed junctions in Seaton. Route Checks Master Navigators only Tough multiplication. Did you do it by long hand? I used a program I found on the Internet. The answer to the sum was: 13711712513313999817928721711286710520517417311686153 then break it down to via spot heights 13 7 117 125 133 139 99 81 7 9 28 72 171 128 67 105 205 174 173 116 86 153 Route Checks 4 - Division Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators The clues were the division of the first digit of a grid line by the second digit. This gave the following sequence of grid lines to cross: 93 34 34 94 34 95 33 96 33 96 96 34 35 96? 96? 96 36 36 95 35 95 95 35 94 94 94 36 36 36 RC5. Usual problem of deciding which RDs actually touched the route. Route Checks Master Navigators only Tough division would have given you: 3794383995393896973737983798369835989898349834999935983698379900370036350035 break apart for grid lines to cross, thus: 37 94 38 39 95 39 38 96 97 37 37 98 37 98 36 98 35 98 98 98 34 98 34 99 99 35 98 36 98 37 99 00 37 00 36 35 00 35 Route Checks 5 - Not Map Bits Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators The map bits were bracketed - you had to avoid them. On map edition D there was a shorter white route which bypassed Thorncombe giving an answer 3 for RC3. Route Checks Master Navigators only The map bits were bracketed - you had to avoid them. Route Checks 6 - Darting About Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators Take the longest route. Very tricky around Broadwindsor depending upon whether you used the staggered(?) OOOO crossroads accommodated by RC1 acceptable answers. Route
Checks Master Navigators only The order of numbers around a dartboard 1, 18, 4, 13, 6, 10, 15, 2, 17,
3, 19, 7, 16, 8, 11, 14, 9, 12, 5 gave the required order of spot heights 26 83 108 35 127 127 9 5 65 47 55 16 29 49 92 44 54 42 24 12 Route Checks 7 - Traffic Lights Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators Disguised coloured road junctions. OOY YYY YYW YYY YYY YYY YYY YYY YRR YRR YYW WWW YYW YYO OOW OOW OOW WWW OOW ORR RRW YYY YYY YRR RRO There is a shorter route through Waytown which some Experts used not knowing that it clashed with the Masters route in RC6. Hence an acceptable Experts value of 2 for RC1. Route Checks Master Navigators only The correct sequence of roads was: OOY YYW(5) YRR RRW OYW(2) 2YYY YYW WRR RRY RRY YYY YYW(2) YRR RRW 2WWW 2YRR Route Checks 8 - You're A-maze-ing Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators From the starting TC (cross on the right) to the finishing PC (cross on the left) via the grid squares. Leave a grid square via a green blob, enter by a red blob. You had to be careful that you used all the blobs. Route Checks Master Navigators only Same idea as part 1. The GS number of the squares was: 4007, 3607, 4009, 3609 RC6 - 3, RC7 - 1, RC8 - 10 RC9 - 3609, RC10 - 3605 9 - N E which way Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators Each block of 3 x 3 in the matrix defined the grid squares to be visited. The order was down the first 3 columns, up the next 3, down the next 3 etc. Route Checks Master Navigators only Same idea as part 1 except the values in every 3rd row were added to the following row, and every 3rd column was added to the following column. Your decoded matrix should have looked like this:
Route Checks 10 - 'Bone Idle Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators Simply a descriptive herringbone: (ignore) L, (ignore) R, but you had to work out which way to go at the crossroads. Route Checks Master Navigators only Like part 1, but you had to work out the ignored direction at various junctions to make the bone fit. R R X L X L R X R R R L R L R L X R X X L R L L L X R L R X L R L R(X) L L R R R R L R X R L L L L R R R R L X Route Checks 11 - Real Tulips Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators Many had an aversion to this or did you just go for the first 10 route cards. It was just a pretty way of using tulips. Stalk points right, turn right etc. Route Checks Master Navigators only This time the "tulips" referenced the direction of gradient arrows to be visited. The vertical bar separated the visits into grid squares. Route Checks 12 - Partial Junctions Master Navigators/Road Rally Navigators Just do what it said. RC5: On map edition D only there was a "c" at the beginning of the sequence. Route Checks Master Navigators only Same idea, except you had to count the junctions in each grid square visited.
