Xtra! Fun Pi Day Sudoku Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

peace love pi: I recently found out the cachers were giving these coordinates out at puzzle events. Since this is a higher difficulty cache I believe hints are acceptable, but receiving coordinates is not in good faith, therefore I am archiving this cache to make way for another cache. Happy caching and thanks to those that solved the puzzle.

Geocache Description:




Congratulations to sleuthers on the FTF!


Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and to eat pie.

Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point -- but don't worry, you only need 12 digits of Pi

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Solve this Pi Sudoku for the final coordinates.



The rules are a little different from the standard sudoku, in part because the blocks are jigsaw pieces rather than 3x3, and in part because the first 12 digits of pi are used instead of the standard digits 1-9. Each row, each column and each colored jigsaw region must contain the first 12 digits of pi, including repeated numbers -- there are three 5s, two 1s, two 3s, one 2, one 4, one 6,one 8, and one 9.

The final is located at: N 39 5 R8C7.R12C3 R9C2 R10C9 W 104 5 R2C7. R10C10 R1C3 R8C6
