Geocache Description:

One of a series of three Halifax caches for Sudoku fans.


The coordinates given are not for the cache but for the parking lot. The cache is a pleasant scenic walk of just over 400 meters.

To get the cache you must solve the Sudoku and take your coordinates from the lettered squares. The container is an ammo can. It's only a few meters from the shoreline path; no need to bushwhack.

There are three caches in this series: one for beginners, GCT7JN , one for intermediates GC1RGNA and one for the advanced GCTVZR.

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#3 is the hardest one. Warning! This is one tough puzzle, but it is do-able. Only diehards need apply.

The location of the cache is N 44 AB.CDE W 063 FG.HIJ.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on geochecker.com.
