buddysally: This cache has been in play for 9 years now, so I think it is time to retire it, thus freeing up the area for others to use. Thanks to all who did this puzzle. Cheers and happy caching, buddysally

SUJIKEN, another fun puzzle something like a suduko, but it is not on the whole 81 grid.



To play this GEO SUJIKEN


1. No geocache symbol can be repeated horizontally, vertically, or diagonally


2. No geocache symbol can be repeated within an area of the thick boarders









For the nine different geocache types used in this puzzle, determine how many times each symbol is used, then do the following simple math to determine the coordinates



THE CACHE CAN BE FOUND AT N 45 AB.CDE W 075 FG.HJK



A = (EVENT + TRADITIONAL)/ (MULTI + MYSTERY)


B = (TRADITIONAL + WHERIGO + MYSTERY + WEB CAM ) / EARTH


C = WHERIGO + EARTH


D = TRADITIONAL – MULTI + MYSTERY


E = (VIRTUAL x 2) + EARTH + TRADITIONAL – (WEB CAM x2) – EARTH


F = (EVENT x WEB CAM) / LETTERBOX


G = (EVENT + WEB CAM) / LETTERBOX


H = LETTERBOX + EVENT – WHERIGO + EARTH


J = LETTERBOX + MULTI - VIRTUAL


K =3(MYSTERY) – (EARTHCACHE + VIRTUAL)



Have fun and Happy Caching
