  I also tried to replace those strings with numerical values. If you had used
4-bit values (2+2 bits) to encode the coordinates it would have worked just
fine (it could have reduced the sig even more, besides making it a bit more
obfuscated), but you have used 5-bit values (2+3 bits) which made the resulting
numbers just too big to be of any use (at least in reducing the sig).
