Geocache Description:

The solution to this puzzle is based on the ancient strategic game designed for an 8 X 8 game board.

NB Do not go to the above coordinates – that would be a false move and not help in winning the game!

To solve the puzzle you will need to research the story King Kaid Of India. Cachers of a particular vintage may recall the story from Victorian Readers Fifth Book. Others may prefer to use more modern research facilities. When you have read the story of the aged sage, it is your turn to make the strategic calculations and moves to locate the cache.


In a Southerly direction your destination is AB CD.EFG

AB = the hundreds of the currency earned on the 17th square minus 500.

CD = KL multiplied by 2.

EFG = the thousands of the currency earned on the 45th square.

To the East your destination is HIJ KL.MNP

HIJ = the quadrillions of the currency earned on the 58th square

KL= the sum of the digits in the 23rd square.

MNP= the hundreds of the currency earned on the 33rd square, plus .005

Check Sum = S-22, E-20
