Geocache Description:

Another BBS:Sudoku cache, this one is a little different.

This is the 3rd BBS:Sudoku cache, this one is a little different. This kind of Sudoku is called "Jigsaw" or "Squiggly". It is a little more challenging than regular Sudoku but still fun. I find that the puzzle isn't necessarily more difficult, but just takes more time to figure out. Once you have solved this Sudoku puzzle (you may want to print it) and then use the solved puzzle to find the coords to the cache. This puzzle is considered a "easy" difficulty. The cache is probably a 1.5 or 2D but I have given it a 3D because it is something new.

I want this puzzle to be an opportunity to try something different, but I don't want it to be frustrating, so if you are finding it to challenging I have added a way to bypass the puzzle: punch in the listing coordinates into the GeoCheck below and you will be given the solution to the puzzle, all you will have to do is the math below.

When you have completed the puzzle the boxes with letters will contain numbers. Use those numbers in the following mathematical calculations to solve for the coordinates. I included brackets in some of the calculations, in some cases they are redundant, but I thought it looks clearer with them. I've used the small "x" for multiplication, and "/" for division.

N 44° 37.UVW
W 075° 41.XYZ

U = A + C - I
V = F - B
W = E + G
X = D - C
Y = H
Z = (A x C) - H

Once you have found the final coords the cache will be a quick Park and Grab.
