Bletchley Park Cache - CARW2019
This years CARW theme is YEG - TV. This cache is based on the TV shows called “The Bletchley Circle” and “The Bletchley Circle San Francisco” seen on Edmonton TV on PBS, and CITY TV channels. These TV series are based on the famous Bletchley Park.
Bletchley Park in England housed secret code breakers, mathematicians and cryptographers who worked to decode intercepted Nazi messages during WW2. Many of these German secret messages were scrambled using the famous German Enigma machine . The TV series covers the lives of 4 of the women that worked at Bletchley Park to decrypt these secret messages. Post WW2, in 1952 , it follows their lives as they adjust back to civilian life. Using their skills of decoding and decryption they notice patterns in local murders, and help the police find the culprits .
This puzzle cache IS at the posted coordinates. However in order to log this cache as a FIND, you must SIGN THE LOG BOOK.
This puzzle cache will mimic an example of using numbers as a key to unlock a message (or in this case the log book). This puzzle will use math and logic to solve a Sudoku puzzle . Sudoku is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9.
Solve the Sudoku puzzle shown below:
When you have solved the puzzle you will be able to retrieve the numbers occupying the squares labeled by A,B,C,D,E. Save these numbers to provide the key to unlock the log book.
At the cache , insert the numbers sequentially in the order of A,B,C,D,E, to be able to open and obtain access to the log book. Sign and log this cache as found.
Cachers logging a find for this cache that are not identified on the log sheet, will be deleted from having a “find” for this cache.
