Geocache Description:

Decon container hidden in Blydenburgh County Park.

The cache is not hidden at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle to find the cache!



KenKen is a logic puzzle with simple rules:

  • Fill in the grid with digits so as not to repeat a digit in any row or column.
  • Digits within each heavily outlined group of squares, called a cage, must combine to make the arithmetic result indicated.
  • A 3x3-square puzzle will use the digits from 1 to 3, a 4x4-square puzzle will use the digits from 1 to 4, etc.

Solving a KenKen puzzle involves pure logic and mathematics. No guesswork is needed.

  • In a cage marked with a plus (+) sign, the given number will be the sum of the digits you enter in the squares.
  • In a cage marked with a minus (-) sign, the given number will be the difference between the digits you enter in the squares (the lower digit subtracted from the higher one).
  • In a cage marked with a multiplication (x) sign, or a division (/) sign, the given number will be the result of multiplying or dividing the numbers you enter in the squares.

After you solve the puzzle you will find the cache at the following location:

N40° 50.ABC W073° 13.DEF
