Geocache Description:

The second in a series of 3 Halifax caches for Sudoku fans.


A series for those who seek a little challenge before leaving home. The coordinate given is not for the cache but for the trail head. Please note you can no longer enter this area with a car and you'll need to find nearby street parking. To get the cache you must solve the Sudoku and take your coordinates from the squares with letters. The cache contains a variety of teasers, brain twisters and puzzle books suitable for all ages in addition to the log book and pencil. They are winter and family friendly.

There will be three caches: one for beginners, one for intermediates and one for the advanced. If you log all three, you will receive a certificate by e-mail attesting to your prowess.

No calculations are required to solve a Sudoku; it’s pure logic. Every row, every column, and each of the nine 3x3 squares must contain all of the numbers from 1 through 9. There is a unique solution to each puzzle. Those who exploit computers to solve them will have to live with their guilt and shame.

PP#2 is the intermediate one.

Actual location of cache is N44 AB.0CD, W063 EF.GHI. (If you've solved it correctly the sum of A+B+C+D is 17 and the sum of E+F+G+H+I is 22). It’s an easy, safe walk from the former parking lot (now closed to vehicles).
