On the Subject of Bomb Diffusal

You’re sending a bomb through another bomb - how cool is that?

Destination - Sector

Take the module’s software license number and compare it to the bomb’s serial number. Go through the table below with all 6 characters of both numbers left-to-right.

	License Number
Serial Number	A B C D E	F G H I J	K L M N O	P Q R S T	U V W X Y	Z 0 1 2 3 4	5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E	3	9	6	3	3	1	4
F G H I J	5	6	8	5	9	5	0
K L M N O	6	2	7	3	8	6	7
P Q R S T	1	4	6	9	8	9	1
U V W X Y	2	3	9	7	2	7	2
Z 0 1 2 3 4	5	1	8	2	8	4	4
5 6 7 8 9	0	1	0	7	5	4	0

Put the numbers together to make a 6-digit number. This is your delivery number.

Find the position of the highest, non-tied digit in the delivery number. Set the destination sector to the sector received from the table below.

If the delivery sector is space, reverse the delivery number for the next step.

Destination - Area

Take the first and second most significant digits of the delivery number and modulo both by 5. Take the 2-digit number you have now and the destination sector to find the destination area in the table below.
