Geocache Description:

Loop the Loop is a puzzle cache.  Do NOT go to the posted coordinates, there is nothing there and you may get hurt.  You must solve the puzzle to obtain the real coordinates.

Loop the Loop is also known as Fences or Slither Link, where you draw lines between the dots to form a single loop.  This loop must be one continuous loop, and cannot cross or have any branches.  The numbers in each box indicate how many lines (0-3) must surround the box. As a logic puzzle, there is only one correct answer. See the background image for an example of segment counts.



When you get the grid filled in with the continuous loop of line segments, there are two small steps to convert your grid to coordinates. Look at the image for the loop7-puzzle which has the box's for letters ABCDE and QRSTU identified. Using the loop7-conversion table, convert those images to digits. You are looking for N35 AB.CDE W78 QR.STU.



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

I tried to make a series for those of varying puzzle challenge levels. If you like this kind of puzzle, the series is: Loop 7x7 , Loop 10x10 , and Loop 15x15. If you don't, hit ignore.
