Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. However, the cache is within 1 kilometre (as the crow flies).


This cache has been placed in honour of my first FTF back on April 8, 2005 on Geofella's Crossnumber cache.

I hope you enjoy solving this puzzle as much as I enjoyed creating it.


Additional Information:

1) Each square in the crossnumber grid contains a single digit.
2) None of the squares contain a zero.
3) Different letters do not necessarily represent different digits.
4) The two missing clues are not required to solve the puzzle.
5) There is only one correct solution.

The actual coordinates of the cache are N43 51.pqr W79 05.stu, where

p = (F + G) - (D x F)
q = (E + H) - (A + D)
r = (A x C) - (D x E)
s = (C x F) - (A x B)
t = (G + H) - (C + D)
u = (B x C) - (A + G)

This puzzle's purpose is to challenge those twisted individuals (such as myself) that find amusement in solving such things. It is not meant as a roadblock to make the finding of this cache an exclusive event. If you are unable or unwilling to solve the puzzle yourself, please feel free to ask someone that has solved the puzzle to provide you with the actual coordinates. Just remember to give the appropriate credit in your log entry.
