Geocache Description:



CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES N44°16.A0C W88°25.DEF

Solve the Sudoku to determine the final coordinates. Once solved, the final location and the solve itself will be necessary to determine the final solution to the 10th, and final, Zöe Bro Coup | Piece de Resistance. You will need to solve at least 4 of the 9 Coup puzzles to solve the 10th, but it is not necessary to solve each of the 9 "de" puzzles to find their finals if you have your wits about you.

Once upon a time in a land not too far away there lived a king who fancied himself a decent and wise ruler and he was, generally speaking, revered and well-liked by his subjects. He ruled a tiny little kingdom called Selzzup, which is about the modern equivalent of 9 square city blocks.

He came to the throne rather unexpectedly but took his mantle and his subjects seriously. Well, after his first year, the king decided to take a short vacation - just a few weeks to regain his senses before embarking on his second year on the throne.

One morning, near the end of his holiday, he was awoken suddenly by a knock on the door. It was his Chancellor, Evad, who brought news of a potential uprising, headed by a young usurper who'd recently come to the kingdom and was challenging the King's subjects to numerical duals of his own making.

Sensing that this young challenger possessed some skill, the King decided to issue a series of challenges in return. And so he called his court together that very morning and asked each of them to develop a puzzle for the young lad to solve. Coincidentally, the 9 members of his court each lived in one of the 9 tiny regions of the kingdom and therefore the King knew he would be well represented. "Bring them to me by sunset so I may issue the proclamation henceforth and with haste!". So the 9 members of the court left to ponder and postulate...

The King's Bodyguard, Enahs, was always at hand of course, yet even he was being asked to think of a puzzle. Now, you wouldn't think a man in that position would be too quick on his feet, be sure enough, he had already devised a puzzle before the Fleet Commander returned and that was saying something. "Your Majesty, here's my puzzle. It's about seeing both sides of every person who comes through your door and making an immediate determination about whether they pose a threat or are completely harmless. The lad must use the general rules of this game, but also determine which number stays and which number goes, which one is a threat and which one isn't."

The king was pleased with this and stationed his Bodyguard back outside his chamber door.
