isht kinta: Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, nor did you post a note to your cache page telling me and others of your intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. Finding this cache requires solving a puzzle in three stages. BYOP, and a small SWAG item is inside for FTF.

**NOTE: The final location may occasionally be inhabited by muggles and/or parking may be restricted.

Part One:
Using the numbers 1 thru 12 only once each, fill in the blank tiles of the puzzle grid below. Each row is designated A, B, C, D or E. Each column is designated 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. The sum of all numbers in each row much match the value given at the end of the row, and likewise for each column. In addition, each diagonal (shaded in gray) must equal the value given at the end.


Part Two:
Solve the equations below using the letter/number combinations in each equation to match the number found in the corresponding grid tile from Part One.

a = B5
b = (B1*C3)/E2
c = (C2/B5)*D5
d = (E1-B2)+A4
e = E4
f = E4 + D5
g = (B2+C2)*C3
h = A4*(C3/D3)
i = C2-B5
j = C3
k = B5/D5
l = C3/(B2+C4)
m = D2
n = E4/B1
o = B1*D5


Part Three:
Use the answers from Part Two to substitute the corresponding letter below. Once finished, you will have the actual coordinates for the final stage of the cache.

North: ab cd.efg
West:  hij kl.mno
