Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache.
There is nothing at the above coordinates.
You must solve the puzzle to obtain the correct coordinates.

Since there are no Sudoku puzzle caches in Kalispell, I decided to place one as an
introduction to Sudoku.
Sudoku puzzles range in difficulty from "Easy" to "Evil".
This Sudoku puzzle is rated as a "Easy".

Even though we are using numbers, no math whatsoever is needed - - - -

 - - - just a series of logical steps to the solution.

Solve the Sudoku puzzle and then enter the needed numbers into this formula.
 

North 48    AN   FP  .  0      0    CR

No Internet? Use this manual geochecker:
Add the minutes and seconds of your solved coordinates together you should get 31.733
Like this:
   mm .s s s
+ mm .s s s
= 3  1 .7 3 3



For those that might not be familiar with Sudoku -
Every small box in the 9 large outlined boxes must have the numbers 1 through 9 with no numbers repeated.
Every row must have the numbers 1 through 9 with no numbers repeated.
Every column must have the numbers 1through 9 with no numbers repeated.

For a start . . . there are a few pointers in the hints:


Cache is hidden near the Lawrence Park Frisbee Golf Course also known as FOLF.
Park hours dawn till dusk.

Beware of Folfing Muggles !
Bring your own writing tool.
You may need tweezers.
Hike is about 2000 feet or 600 meters one way.
Mostly on level paved trail.
No need to tear up the area at GZ.

The camoulflaged container is visible from the right angle.

If you need more help feel free to email me or Ajax One through geocaching.com messages.
