Geocache Description:

NOTE: The listed coordinates are not the position of the cache. You must solve the position of the cache from the description below.

"Ripple Effect" is the name of a kind of logic puzzle.

Rules
  1. The areas surrounded by bold lines are called "rooms," and you fill in all the empty cells in a room according to the next two rules:
  2. Each room contains consecutive integers from "1" to the number of cells in that room.
  3. If two identical numbers appear in the same row or column, at least that many cells with other numbers must separate them. For example, two cells containing "1" may not be orthogonally adjacent, but must have at least one cell between them with a different number. Two cells marked with "3" in the same row or column must have at least three cells with other numbers between them in that row or column, and so on.
