There are three lines of text. There are 41 letters, so there will be 14 letters on on the top line, 14 letters on the second line and 13 letters on the bottom line. Use the squares in your Maths copybook to arrange the letters as I have started below. (You will need to finish the first line before you start the second and third lines!)

Then write out what the message is, starting with the first letter on the top row, then the first letter on the second row, then the first letter on the third row, then the second letter on the first row, then the second letter on the second row ........ I think you will figure out the rest yourself! Good Luck. (WHAT CITY IS .............)
