Geocache Description:


This cache is not at the posted coordinates.

“According to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, modern roundabouts — which have proliferated in this country in recent years — are not only far safer than regular intersections, they are also more fuel efficient. Drivers use about 30 percent less gas when using a roundabout compared with a traffic signal, according to the Institute, because they don’t necessarily have to stop and idle.” - NY Times

This roundabout - located on Washington St in Hudson MA - was newly built in 2013 and serves as traffic relief in a bigger project to widen part of Route 85.

Solve the following puzzle to locate the cache container. 

Put an X or O in each empty cell of this grid so that four consecutive X's or O's do not appear horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. 

The cache is located at: N 42 22.UVW, W 071 34.XYZ

Where:
U = # of X's in Column A + # of O's in row1
V = # of O's in Column B + # X's in row2
W = # of X's in Column G
X = # of O's in row3
Y = # of O's in row5
Z = # of X's in row7 + # O's in Column E
