Sorry that first number was wrong. Letter to number conversation.

Thanks for the puzzle cache

The cache is not at the posted coordinates!!!!!!!! Do not go looking at the posted coordinates, instead, solve the puzzle to discover where the cache is placed. Bring your own pen.

Recently I have been doing some mystery puzzles and I've decided they are my favorite type of cache; that being said, I have decided to place my first puzzle cache. I have placed this cache near the area I park for work, hence the name "Lets Get to Work." To create my puzzle I used a coding method using matrices that my math teacher taught me. I did this by encrypting letters into numbers, creating a 14x2 matrix with those numbers, and multiplying that matrix by a different 2x2 matrix. The resulting matrix is given below. It will be your job to find the 2x2 matrix, use it to decode the given matrix, and then decipher the resulting numbers.

I hope you have a calculator that can do matrices (although a calculator is not necessary).

This is all the wording on the page.

Thank you.

I guess it could be Ascii.
Sometimes you dont need to find the whole coords but just the last 5 or last 3 for each side.

Coordinates. Latitude and Longitude.
