Although there are already a few structures already in their semi-permanent locations, by decree of numerical feng shui, the Shakespeare island sim landing point location is officially Shakespeare (158,103,46). Why?

Psalm 46 (KJV) is the Rosetta Stone of this casting:

• The word “Shake” is the 46th word (noninclusive) from the beginning of Psalm 46 and the word “Spear” is the 46th word (noninclusive) from the end of Psalm 46
• The word “Shake” is the 158th word (noninclusive) from the end of Psalm 46 and the word “Spear” is the 158th word (noninclusive) from the beginning of Psalm 46
  • There are 111 words between the word Shake and Spear.
    • Shake @ 0+46
    • Spear @ T-46 (T is total number of words in Psalm 46)
    • T=205 words… Difference is T - 92 - 2 (not counting for Shake and Spear)
• Shakespeare is 103 in Caeser Cipher using Bacon’s 24 letter alphabet prominent in Shakespeare’s days. Caesar Cipher (with 0 displacement) begins by assigning A=1, B=2, C=3, etc… But, the 24-letter archaic alphabet assigns the same “number” to the letters i&j and u&v, since these two are often used interchangeably, and Z=24.
  • S=18, H=8, A=1, K=10, E=5, S=18, P=15, E=5, A=1, R=17, E=5
  • Sum up the letters above to get 103
  • (Don’t you feel kinda giddy? :-D)

Hats off to Robert Fowler Jr of “Light of Truth” for deducing this one!
