Welcome to Alleppey! We hope you enjoy the tranquility of backwaters as much as we did when hiding this cache!
First and foremost, you will need a BOAT or some other water vehicle to reach this cache. Canoe rentals are very inexpensive, around 200 rupees for the whole day, and can be a great way to see the backwaters.
Now on to the puzzle. If you've never done a KenKen, it's similar to a sudoku, please read these rules:
Fill the grid with digits so as not to repeat a digit in any row or column, and so the digits within each heavily outlined box or boxes (called a cage) will produce the target number shown in that cage by using the operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) shown by the symbol after the numeral.
For single box cages, simply enter the number that is shown in the corner.
So, for example, the notation 6+ means that the numerals in the cage should add up to 6, and the notation 48x means that by multiplying the numbers in the cage you will get 48. A 4x4 grid will use the digits 1-4. A 5x5 grid will use 1-5. A 6x6 grid will use 1-6, and so on.
Note: This KenKen is a 9x9 and in each "cage" the numbers will never duplicate even though they may be in different rows or columns. For example, if the cage has three blanks shaped like an "L" and is 4x, it will NEVER be 1x4x1.
The KenKen puzzle is in the "Image Gallery".
The final coordinates are:
N E4 º D8 0 . I3 A9 C7
E B7 D5 º E6 F6 . G6 H9 C5
Be sure to bring a writing utensil and a puzzle of your own (riddle, sudoku, etc) to put in the canister because there are more puzzles in the cache for fun - feel free to take one!
Happy Hunting!
