Geocache Description:

The cache is not here. This is not a good place to park.

Solve the puzzle below to find the cache.


To find the coordinates for this cache, solve the following puzzle:

Standard Sudoku rules apply. Each row, column, and 4x4 square region must contain the digits 0-f with no duplication.

Since the puzzle is in hexadecimal (digits 0 through f), cache final location is solved in hexadecimal and then will need to be converted to decimal.

Cache is at N 27 1S.TUV W 68 3W.XYZ (39 decimal is 27 hex, 104 decimal is 68 hex).

So for instance, if the North minutes section solved from the puzzle to 16.3ca, the decimal is 22.970. (hex 16 => decimal 22, hex 3ca => decimal 970).

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
