This cache is placed to help Captain Math get his weekly puzzle fix.

I know all too well how hard it is to keep up with a personal geocaching goal. So here is another one for Captain Math. Still not the hardest puzzle out there but harder than my last. The Sudoku got a good response so I figured that a Samurai Sudoku would be even better. Because honestly when is a Samurai anything not better?

Samurai Sudoku puzzles consist of five overlapping Sudoku grids. The standard Sudoku rules apply to each 9 x 9 grid. Place digits from 1 to 9 in each empty cell. Every row, every column, and every 3 x 3 box should contain one of each digit. The four 3 x 3 boxes that overlap must work for both 9 x 9 grids. Again you will need to do some extra work to find the final cords. Go to the bottom left corner and number each row 1 through 21 bottom to top. Go to the bottom left corner again and number each column 1 through 21 left to right.

Depending on the time of day will depend on how many muggles you will have to avoid. The difficulty is rated a 3 due to the probability of muggles and a little bit harder puzzle. Please use all your stealth to get this one.

N 41 2 (12, 7).0 (11, 15) (20, 2)

W 074 4 (2, 13).(21, 16) (9, 10) (2, 2)
