Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are bogus.

You could go there to ask for help in emergencies but not with
regards to the puzzle. That's for you to solve.




It is like Sudoku: each vertical and horizontal line has to contain the
numbers 1-6, and the numbers can't be repeated in any row or column. But
it's Sudoku with a twist: the numbers in each heavily outlined set of
squares, called cages, must produce the number in the top corner.
For example, 5+ means the numbers add up to 5, 15x means the numbers
multiply to equal 15.


The coordinates are in the form of S 36 47.RST E 174 43.XYZ

where


R=E1-D1+B1-C1+F1-A1


S=D2-B2+F2+C2+E2-A2


T=A3-F3+E3-C3-D3


X=D4+E4+C4-F4-A4


Y=A5+C5+F5-E5-B5+D5


Z=A6+C6+D6-B6-F6


The cache container is a 1 litre fruit jar and contains, initially, a few tradeable items.

Please cover well when rehiding the cache. Thank you.
