This cache has been archived.

Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com!

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

In order to get the coordinates for this cache you must solve a number puzzle. The number puzzle is attached as an image below. Here are the rules for solving the puzzle: 1) The missing numbers are integers from 0 to 9. 2) The numbers in each row add up to the totals to the right. 3) The numbers in each column add up to the totals along the bottom. 4) The diagonal lines also add up to the totals to the right. 5) Once you solve the puzzle use the letters to fill in the coordinates to the cache.

(AE)(CE) (DE)(CE).(AH)(BG)(CE)N
(BH)(CH) (BF)(CE).(BE)(CG)(AG)W


The difficulty level is set at 2.5 because of the puzzle. The cache should not be more than a 1.5.

9-12-04 Update: The Conway Police discovered this cache when it was first placed. The original container was a small green ammo box. The police thought the container was a bomb and blew it up! The misunderstanding has since been worked out with the police. See the initial logs for more info. I have now replaced the cache as a micro.
