50SUMTIN's Nonogram Puzzle
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, lucky for you. But
it is within 2 miles of the posted coordinates. You will need to
solve the nonogram puzzle above to determine the final cache
coordinates.
What are nonograms? Nonograms are picture logic puzzles in which
cells in a grid have to be colored or left blank according to the
code of numbers given at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden
picture. In this puzzle type, the numbers measure how many unbroken
lines of filled-in cells there are in any given row or column.
The numbers on the right of each row represent how many
consecutive blocks of cells are solid (in this case, black). The
comma (if one) will mean there is a space (not solid) of at least
one cell between the blocks of solid cells. For rows, these numbers
are worked left to right. The numbers at the bottom of each column
are worked from top to bottom.
For example, a clue of "4,1,3" for a row would mean there are
sets of four, one, and three filled cells, in that order, moving
from left to right, with one or more blank cells between the
groups.
I have filled out the bottom third of the puzzle to get you
started.
And for reference I have uploaded an image of a nonogram of
"50SUMTIN" to the cache page as well.

This puzzle is based on a similar puzzle that I recently saw in the
Sacramento area.
