Geocache Description:

A simple puzzle cache, solve the puzzle to determine the coordinates.

The above coordinates are for parking only.


 

I enjoy doing  puzzles from a certain national newspaper. This is the first in a series of caches that will involve solving simple number puzzles to obtain the relavent coordinates. The first, KenKen, requires you to fill in the grid using numbers 1-6 in each row and column. Each row and column must contain numbers 1 to 6 without repeats. The numbers in the 'cages' (heavily outlined boxes) must combine to produce the target number shown at the start of the cage, using, in any order, the mathematical sign given. Single box cages can be filled in with the number given.

Once you have solved the puzzle the cache can be found at:

N 54 B2,(A1-D2).C4,E2,A5    W004 D5,D4.(F3-A6),B4,(A3+B1)

When at the cache site, take care, when getting down the actual cache itself, hold on to the handrail.

NB. The camouflaged cache holder now has a "tool" integrated in it, which enables you to extract the cache itself. Please take care when using it and replace exactly as found.

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