In case you haven't run across a "KenKen" puzzle before, we've
listed some of the directions you might want to know about the
puzzle. Once you solve this particular puzzle, you will see numbers
in the boxes that have the letters A-F in them in the grid. Using
those numbers in place of the corresponding letters in the "math"
problems below the red-colored coordinates shown right above the
grid, find the values for RST and XYZ to replace the corresponding
letters in the red coordinates. You can then find the cache
container at those
coordinates. It's not all that hard... just use a bit of brain
power.
Some directions for solving this puzzle and others similar to
it:
- Fill the whole 6x6 grid, one digit per square.
- Use the digits 1-6 so that there is one and only one of each
digit in each column and each row.
- An outlined box can contain a repeat of a digit as long as they
are not in the same row or column.
- Within each box, place chosen digits so that they give the
indicated number for the box by using the indicated operation. ( +
is add; - is subtract; * is multiply; / is divide )

where: R = (D - B) + F; S = E + F; T = F - C;
X = B + A; Y = (C
+ B) - D; Z = (E + A) - C
