Geocache Description:

This Passover-themed cache will introduce to you an addicting puzzle game called 2048.
The posted coordinated will bring you to the Shasha Bakery. This is clearly the wrong location. To find the correct location you must solve most of the levels of the 2048 game.

Chad Gadya (Aramaic: "חַד גַדְיָא" - chad gadya ; Hebrew: "גדי אחד" - gedi echad ; English: "one little goat" or "one kid") is a playful cumulative song in Aramaic and Hebrew. It is sung at the end of the Passover Seder, the Jewish ritual feast that marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover. The melody may have its roots in Medieval German folk music. For more information see the English Wikipedia page or the slightly different Hebrew page.

The cache is a 2ml micro hidden within 2 miles of the posted coordinates. To get the correct (final) coordinate you must solve this 2048 puzzle (most of the way):

abc = number on the OX tile
xyz = number on the BUTCHER tile

The cache is at:
N 32 04.abc
E 34 48.xyz



Credits:
Our 2048 puzzle is a slight modification of ajmyk's 2048, which is a complete ripoff of Gabriele Cirulli's MIT-licensed 2048, which was based on 1024 by Veewo Studio, and is conceptually similar to Threes by Asher Vollmer.
