The Cache is not at the posted coordinates. To find the cache, you must first decipher the coordinates by solving the puzzle below.
This is a variation of the very first puzzle cache I wrote called "Interurban Hiromono". The rules are slightly different so please read them carefully before beginning.
Even though the rules are different than the original puzzle I made, they are still fairly simple.
The object of the game is to clear the board below of all of the colored balls on it except for the one you start with. To do that, start with one of the red balls. Slide the red ball that you start with along one of the intersecting lines that it sits on in a single direction towards a yellow ball. Then proceed to the next ball which must be green. After removing the green ball, proceed along the line you are on to the next Red Ball. Continue in this fashion, removing the balls in order Red-Yellow-Green-Red-Yellow-Green, etc. until all of the balls are removed except for the Red Ball you started with.
To accomplish this there are certain rules that must be observed:
-- You MUST begin with a Red Ball.
--The Red Ball you begin with is the only ball that is allowed to move.
-- The ball can only travel along a line and only in the direction in which it first starts to move.
--The lines do not "wrap" around to the other side.
--A turn consists of the Red Ball beginning it's move from a resting position and moving along a line in any direction (except for back the way it came in the previous turn) until it encounters another ball. When the Red Ball that you are moving encounters another ball, that ball is removed from the board and the Red Ball replaces it in its spot, this completes the current turn.
--Start with a Red Ball, move next to a Yellow, then a Green and then start over again with a Red. Continue like this until all of the Balls are removed.
Pick any Red Ball to begin your game which becomes ball number one. From that point, count subsequent balls (Yellow next, then Green, etc.) as they are removed from the board and then apply those numbers to the given puzzle. By following the given rules, there is only one way to solve the puzzle.
Good Luck! Have Fun! Thanks for taking the time to solve this puzzle and look for the cache. I hope you enjoy both the puzzle and the hide!
This is one of 54 puzzle caches spelling out "WSGA" in honor of the 10th anniversary of Washington State Geocaching Association.
