IAW-06-Sudoku Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

XantheTerra: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache. The cache is not at the given coordinates. You must solve the sudoku puzzle and do a little math, to obtain the correct coordinates. There is only ONE correct answer to this sudoku puzzle. Online puzzle solvers will not help, however it is not as hard as it first seems, once you get started it will be quick to complete.

The puzzle is like any other sudoku,and normal sudoku rules apply. However there are no numbers given to start you off, but "greater than" and "less than" symbols instead. The open part of the V always goes towards the larger number. Once you have solved this puzzle , please note: The cache cannot be reached by 2x4's . You will need a 4x4 to get to it. The drive is not tricky but there is soft sand. Please place the cache back as well hidden as you can. Because I like puzzles and games , I have started this cache with a few games in it and would love you to trade up or equal to what you take out.
