This cache is part of a series that requires you to find mystery
caches by first solving four Sujiken puzzles of varying
difficulty. Each of the four puzzle solutions contains the
coordinates for a cache, and placed in each physical cache
container is part of a final "Killer" Sujiken puzzle, whose
solution leads to the location of this cache. A blank
Sujiken board is provided below for you to fill in the parts
from the other caches. The clues for this cache are taped both to
the cache container, as well as to the back of the log book, in
each of the four caches.
The four caches containing the necessary parts for this one
are:
-
"Can You Sujiken? (1: Easy)" (GC2PBNX)
-
"Can You Sujiken? (2: Intermediate)" (GC2PBP1)
-
"Can You Sujiken? (3: Challenging)" (GC2PBP3)
-
"Can You Sujiken? (4: Difficult)" (GC2PBP6)
If you are new to Sujiken, you might want to do them in
order.
The rules for Sujiken are simple, and are as follows:
- The goal is to fill all empty cells in the Sujiken board
shown below.
- Place the digits from 1 to 9 so no digit is repeated within a
horizontal row, vertical column, or diagonal in any direction.
- No digit is repeated within the three triangular regions and
the three 3x3 square regions marked by thick borders.
- You can logically determine the solution without guessing.
- Each puzzle has only one solution.
Each column in the Sujiken board is denoted by a letter
(A-I), and each row by a number (1-9).
After solving the puzzle, if you add up all the numbers in a
given row (row 1, for example), you will get a number
(Row1). Similarly, if you add up all the numbers in a given
column (column D, for example), you will get a number
(ColD). Do this computation for every row and column in your
solution, and use those results in order to calculate the location
of the cache according to the formulas below.
N 42 2S.TUV
W 071 2W.XYZ
S = ColH - ColG
T = Row7 - ColG
U =Row4 - ColD
V = ColE - Row5
W = ColE - ColF
X = ColD - ColE
Y = Row8 - ColI
Z = ColC - Row5
Notes on the Cache Sites:
- You do NOT need to park on, nor cross, any major
roads.
- Please replace the cache where you found it, and attempt to
keep it hidden from sight.
- Be mindful of the frequent muggles from below when nearing
GZ.
Copies of a book of more Sujiken puzzles, signed by
George of course, await the first three finders (please only take
one each!).
One FTF coin also awaits you.
