Geocache Description:

The solution of a puzzle similar to Sudoku will provide the final coordinates.


you are given a 7 x 7 grid. See attached photo.

The bold lines in the grid define a region. In each region you must place a number in each square going from 1 to the number of squares in that region. If a region has one square, you place a 1. If a region has 2 squares you place a 1 and a 2. And so on.  You cannot use the same number twice in a region. Two squares are considered adjacent if they have touching sides or touching corners. You cannot place the same number in two adjacent squares.

When you finish you will get the final coordinates from

N35 11.abc W106 31.def

where


a = row 6, col 3 - 4
b = row 7 col 1 + 1
c = row 4 col 4 + 0
d = row 4 col 7 + 4
e = row 3 col 5 + 2
f = row 1 col 3 - 1
