Geocache Description:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the coordinates above. I'm sure they would take you to a very nice location where you could enjoy God's creation. However, if you want to find this cache, I don't recommend going there; I recommend solving the puzzle instead.

Note: This cache is being published in conjunction with GC55CGT, The Miami Valley Caching Conundrum #3.

This month's topic is KenKen, and this puzzle requires you to solve a moderately difficult 8x8 board. If you are unfamiliar with KenKen, you can find instructions online, and you should be pretty proficient by the time you complete this puzzle.

The cache is located at N39 46.UVW W84 03.XYZ. You can come up with the missing digits by solving the puzzle and then doing a little math on the results to compute U-Z. Simple as ABC ... errr, XYZ.




U = A + C - E
V = H + F - G
W = N + D - B

X = C + I - B
Y = J + A - I
Z = K + L -M




You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
