Puzzle #37 - As mentioned in the title. The map on some versions of the book is wrong. I've pinched a copy of the page from an Italian user (Music and Boardgames on instagram) and attached it to this post. But in brief, the printing error shows that all exists lead to Sector 2. The top left should be sector 2, the top right sector 3, the bottom sector 4.

Ok, so now we need to find an airlock to find the number on the side of the ship! But which airlock do we use?

Spoiler
Hint #1
Hint #1 - Well, first of all, where is the number? The page with hints about the numbers at the end of the introduction should give me a hint here!

Spoiler
Hint #2
Hint #2 - Ok, this sector map for sector 1 looks a little different to the others. There's loads of letters, and lots of -E, -F. What's the minus for? The pattern seems to go AA, AB, AC, -D, -E.

Spoiler
Hint #3
Hint #3 - Aha, so it's just a short hand notation. So in the example above AA, AB, AC, -D, -E is actually AA, AB, AC, AD, AE and so on.

Spoiler
Hint #4
Hint #4 - I need to orientate myself. So the clue about the number was at the end of the introduction. The number appears to be in Sector #4 along the side of the ship. What airlock is closest to that?

Spoiler
Hint #5
Hint #5 - Ok, I think the letters are "BS" but what are the numbers? Is it 4? Technically the airlock spans 4 in to the next map. Checking sector 4 map, it does indeed start at "5".

Spoiler
Solution
Solution - BS[4-5]
