You must solve the puzzle to find the actual coordinates. The 7 Colors of the Rainbow are a symbol of Hope.From the time of Noah, rainbows have been a sign of hope. Irish legends speak of leprechauns and pots of gold hidden at the end of rainbows. While a nice big pot of gold would come in handy for anyone, especially for a poor college student, there is a problem. Rainbows appear to move as the observer does, so it is impossible to reach the end of a rainbow. Unfortunately, no one has ever gotten rich by finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. In medieval Germany, many believed that for forty years before the end of the world, no rainbows would appear. Thus, people were relieved to see a rainbow; as the saying goes: "So the rainbow appear, the world has no fear, until thereafter forty years." Many cultures all over the world believed that rainbows led to God. Some tribes of North American Indians called the rainbow a "Pathway of Souls." In Japan, some refer to a rainbow as the "Floating Bridge of Heaven." In Hawaii and Polynesia, myths call the rainbow the "path to the upperworld." People in the Austrian Alps say righteous souls go to heaven via the rainbow. A myth of New Zealand said that dead chiefs went up a rainbow to the afterlife. Rainbows have also been used to predict good hunting or sailing weather. "A rainbow in the eve: put thine head in the sheave, a rainbow in the morrow; go take thy bow, and arrow," told hunters that morning rainbows meant better weather was coming. "A rainbow in the morning is the sailor's warning; a rainbow at night is the sailor's delight," told sailors the same thing. Other groups of people, though, were terrified of rainbows. Long ago, Zulus thought that a rainbow was an enormous supernatural serpent. They called these rainbows "snake bows" and believed that they came out after a rainfall to eat unsuspecting humans and cattle. Interestingly enough, although rainbows are scientifically explainable optical phenomena that occur when white light is refracted into its spectrum of colors, the dictionary still defines rainbows as Noah did: a symbol of hope. Judy Garland said it best in 1939 in the movie The Wizard if Oz. Somewhere over the rainbow Somewhere over the rainbow
