Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates.

PUZZLE 1:

Dilbert has been slacking off at work again. He's supposed to be quantifying the value of research and development work in his company (whatever that means) but instead he has been busying himself with sudoku puzzles.

Now Dilbert has gone missing from his cubicle. He left for his lunch break and never returned.

No one else in the company knows how to quantify things, so now they must find Dilbert to get this remedial work finished.

Dilbert's co-worker wants to find him so that she doesn't have to do the work herself.

Dilbert's boss wants to find him so that he doesn't have to find somebody else to assign the work to (which, in turn, creates more work for him) To gain the coordinates to find Dilbert, you must first solve the following two sudokus to find Dilbert's co-worker and boss. To find Dilbert's co-worker, solve the first puzzle. Then solve for the North coordinates to Dilbert at N D2 DM.9DQ



To decipher the West coordinates to find Dilbert, solve the sudoku and substitute W 073 0(X+M).(D+D)9(D-M).

PUZZLE 2:


Once you have found both sets of coordinates, Dilbert should be easy to discover. Please do not spoil what it is Dilbert is using when you log your find. A million thanks to Harper117 for her help in setting up this cache description. Happy Caching!


Congrats to Orion and Son for yet another FTF on a Hugo Nyow cache.
