Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but it is not horridly far from them. It is located in the Oak Ridge Cedar Barrens. To find the location of the cache, you must solve the sudoku puzzle attached below. (see links just above 'logged visits' below or look in 'view gallery')

The general rules of Sudoku are:

'Fill in the game board so that the numbers 1 through 9
occur exactly once in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
The numbers can appear in any order and diagonals are not considered.' (per Sudoku.com)

or

"Every digit from 1 to 9 must appear:
-In each of the columns,
-in each of the rows,
-and in each of the nine boxes." (per sudoku.com.au)

When you have solved the puzzle (don't worry, it is an easy one), look at the second diagram, which will tell you which numbers match up with which letters.

Then just plug them into the following to determine the final coordinates: N 3A°0B.CDE W 084°FG.HIJ

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