not at the listed coordinates. It is less than 2 miles
away.
Hi everyone. This is the first cache I have ever
placed. I wanted to make a puzzle cache because I solved a
few of the puzzle caches around in my area and I thought it would
be fun to make a puzzle that other people could solve as
well. I haven't seen a puzzle cache based on Kakuro, so I
thought I would give it a shot.
Kakuro is a Japanese game that is a little similar to Sudoku,
but it looks more like a crossword puzzle. It's more commonly
called Cross Sums here in America.
Some black cells contain a diagonal slash from top left to
bottom right with numbers in them called "clues". A number in
the top right corner relates to an "across" clue, while the number
on the bottom relates to the "down" clue. The main goal of this
game is to fill each square with a number from 1-9, so the numbers
add up to the corresponding clues squares in each row and
column. When the grid is full, the puzzle is complete.
There's one basic rule to this game, which is that there can be
no duplicate numbers used to add up to the clue number.
IE. A clue number of 6 over two squares can only be reached
by using (1+5), (2+4), (4+2), or (5+1).... NOT (3+3).
Here are some links to help you understand how the game is
played and how to solve the puzzle.

I won't give out any hints until someone finds the cache, but I
will tell you that you need to BYOP. Happy puzzle solving and
good luck.
