The Hidden Treasure Hunt

A man has hidden his treasure in his garden. His children wish to find it. You can help them
to locate it by solving the following puzzle.

Begin with the square marked START and solve the sum given in it. Then move to the square
with the same number as the sum. Your clue is the letter written beside the number. For
example, the answer to the sum in the START square is 10. Hence, you will move to the
square with 10 written on top and your clue will be letter B. Now do the sum given in the
square and move on. Note down each letter in the boxes below as you move on to solve
the puzzle. (If the clue is ‘–’ instead of a letter, it means blank space.)
