Geocache Description:

This is a cache and dash but it's not at the listed coordinates. You need solve a puzzle to find the coordinates. Please note you cannot park directly adjacent to ground zero. However space for one car is just a few yards away. Be careful walking on the verge.

A mishmash of plots of land have been auctioned off in a very sought after location with stunning views all around. They were fantastic investments and the new land owners are going to build two houses per plot. The problem is, none of them want their views obstructed by a lot of other buildings and all want some countryside tranquility.

The town planner says he'll give consent for two houses per plot of land if they can arrange the buildings so that they suit everyone's requirements. He has specified that:

a) Exactly two houses are to be built on each plot
b) No column or row of land must have more than two houses on
c) No house may be in an adjacent square, diagonally or orthogonally, to another



Once you've fitted in all of the houses according to the town planner's instructions, click here to see the grid overlaid with numbers. Take the numbers on squares where you have put a building, in the five rows marked with arrows, reading left to right, top to bottom. The cache is at N52 XX.XXX, W000 XX.XXX. There is no geochecker since there is only one solution to the problem and, therefore, only one set of coordinates possible if you've obeyed the three rules for placement.
