Geocache Description:

This cache was placed as part of 10 Years! Hobart, Australia. It is not at the listed coordinates.

To find the cache you will need to be CLEVER and solve a well CONNECTED puzzle. But first, I’ll be KIND to you and explain how it works and even show you an example.

The aim of the puzzle is to connect adjacent dots with vertical or horizontal lines so that a single loop is formed with no crossings, branches or loose ends. Each number indicates how many lines surround it. Empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines.

The following example is from http://www.nikoli.co.jp/en/puzzles/slitherlink/, where you will also find a tutorial showing you how to solve these types of puzzles.



To work out the coordinates, shade the cells inside the loop and add up the shaded numbers in the indicated row or column. Blanks count as 0. For example...


Now for the puzzle...



The cache is at...
S42 48 . (A - B) C D

E147 14 . (E - F) G H

It is a large micro (or a small small?) and contains a log book only. BYO pen or pencil!
