Mr. Simba King has a job in the city and commutes by public transportation to work every day.

Mr. Simba King
To wake himself up and get his brain moving each morning, he drinks a large cup of coffee while doing the daily sudoku puzzle from the newspaper. This is today's puzzle from the newspaper:

Mr. Simba King's friend is a geocacher. In an email this morning, Mr. Simba King's friend wrote:
"I hid a geocache for you today! It's based on today's sudoku puzzle from the newspaper! Solve today's puzzle, and find the cache at this location:
N40 5(C8).(G9)(B2)(I8) W074 0(C1).(F1)(I6)(C4)"
Can YOU find the geocache? If you solve the puzzle and have no intention of finding the cache, write a note and comment on the puzzle itself!
Per the rules of geocaching, a Found It log must correspond to a signed logbook.
You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
BONUS: the cache container will have written in it a note with part of the coordinate for the puzzle series bonus cache, of the form LETTER=COORDINATE PIECE. Save these pieces of the bonus coordinate for use in geocache GC3T0ZY.
Happy caching!
Congratulations to Ragtime Fan and swampland'r for FTF!
