Geocache Description:

A twist on the classic Sudoku puzzle. Solve the puzzle to find the cache.
Obviously the cache is NOT at the published co-ordinates. Don't try to go there.

This is a more challenging version of a Sudoku puzzle. As well as following the normal Sudoku rules by filling in the squares with digits from 1 - 9, you must also obey the Greater Than symbols. Unlike a normal Sudoku, the starting grid is blank. The Greater Than symbols are the only clues you have to the placement of the numbers. Good luck!

Once you have filled the Greater Than Sudoku grid, use the following to find the co-ordinates of the cache:

South 36° 4 (F6 + I8) . (A4 - B7) (G1 - C6) (E1 - A1)
East 174° 3 (H6 + G5) . (G4 - C3) (F2 + H1) (G3 - A2)




The cache is a magnetic nano, so bring a pen to sign the log.
