I practiced a similar question where the latitude of origin was crucial, but I can't recall the specifics about the UTM zones.

I think the false northing value is usually set to 0 for northern zones, but I'm not entirely sure if that applies here.

I remember that UTM zones are divided into northern and southern hemispheres, so the "S" might be causing confusion.
