Another in the series of puzzles that originated in Japan and followed Sudoku to the rest of the world.
The cache is not at the posted coords. It's at N44 16.abc W76 33.def
Fill in the 5x5 grid with the numbers from 1 to 5, using each number only once per row and column, while following the greater than/less than symbols shown. There is only one valid solution.
Now, a little arithmetic to locate the cache...
a = U + V
b = J - I
c = C + T
d = B + H
e = Q + Y + A
f = E + G - K
Congratulations to jmac11 for the FTF and to umilik for the 2TF. I'm honored that you chose this one for your 2000th.
