Geocache Description:

This puzzle cache is located in Hillbrook Park (part of the Meridian Township Parks system) in Haslett, MI. Current park hours are dawn until dusk. Please respect the park hours.


The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. The listed coordinates are where we recommend that you park. To find the cache, you must complete the puzzle below:

The rules for this puzzle are just like a standard Sudoku, with the additional constraint that the numbers in each color group must add up to the little number specified for each group. Also, no number appears more than once in each individual color group. (Note: if you are having trouble differentiating the colors in the puzzle, there is an alternate version of the puzzle available in the photo gallery.)

You will find the cache at: N 42° 4A.BCD', W 084° 2E.FGH'

Where A=G7-B6, B=H2+D7, C=E6-A8, D=F9-C8, E=D7-A2, F=C9+G5, G=E2-H7, and H=B8-G4

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

The cache container is a clear snap lock container that is a little bigger than most small caches, but not quite as big as a regular cache.

The final cache location is just a little way off of an unpaved trail, so please stick to the available trails until you are close to the cache.

Because the cache is pretty close to the trail, when you replace the cache, please make sure that it is not visible from the trail. Thank you!

Congrats to Salimonyous on being First to Find!
