V - Legendary…The Crown (048/100) Mystery Cache

*** GEOCACHE NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES ***

I would like to extend a major thanks to TatorToTT, DreamChaser and ECPirate who generously offered to help me with placing these geocaches. I also want to extend another major thanks to 2Jolly who ran a test run on the coordinates and replaced any missing cotainers, updated hints and moved any issue placements before publishing of this geoart.

Please be careful when finding these as many are at sign posts and along roadways, however these are county country roads and generally, traffic should be light along these routes.

Solving this "Evil" rated Sudoku Puzzle will give you the clues necessary to decipher the phrase needed for Certitude. Solving with certitude will grant you the correct coordinates for the whole series and geoart. The accepted solution on Certitude is not coordinates but a phrase. The letters should be consecutive containing no spaces.

Print or mentally imprint on the Sudoku puzzle by labeling the left column from top to bottom along the left edge With the letters A through I one letter per Sudoku square in alphabetical order. Label the top row from left to right along the top edge with the numbers 1 through 9 one number per Sudoku square in sequential order.

This will make a pin point grid which is dictated by the left edge letter and corresponding top edge number. Example: 2nd row(B) and 7th column(7) would be indicated by B7 and would return the value located in that cell(5) which is present on the unsolved Sudoku puzzle below.



Use the below to retrieve the values from the solved Sudoku board. These numbers represent the corresponding numerical representation of the letter needed from the alphabet.
