Geocache Description:

CACHE NOT AT POSTED COORDS

For the puzzle, you need to solve a fiendish sudoku puzzle.

The actual Cache is located at N 43 40.AAB, W 079 46.CDA Values of ABCD are from the puzzle. Enjoy!

cache is a small canned peach plastic jar cover by camo tape, looking like typical items in the area, with trinkets for FTFs.


This cache began as a traditional cache at the posted coords but the coords proved to be too close to a schools although I didn't see it that way as it was surrounded by trees and shrubs.

The cache is relocated to a place well hidden from people and should prove to be an ideal all season location as a mystery cache.

As for the puzzle; I am a big fan of number games such as Sudoku so here is a fiendish one for those of you who are up for the task. If you too are a fan of sudoku, try not using the hints to solve it. Difficulty is based on the difficulty of the puzzle.

NOTE: I would suggest that you don't pass on the solution to fellow cachers so that its finding be fair for all seekers.
