Geocache Description:


This geocache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. You need to solve the puzzle and find out the final location.





Klotski (from Polish klocki - wooden blocks) is a sliding puzzle, where the goal is to move the largest block to the exit at the bottom of the board. The player is not allowed to remove blocks, and may only slide blocks horizontally and vertically. Common goals are to solve the puzzle with a minimum number of moves or in a minimum amount of time.

 

The minimum number of moves for the original puzzle is 81, as shown in the picture below, which is verified by computer to be the absolute minimum for the default starting layout, if you consider sliding a single piece to any reachable position to be a single move.

 

 

The Chinese wooden game Huarong Dao (華容道), thought to date from the 1930s, follows the same pattern as Klotski. The Daughter in the Box (hakoiri musume, 箱入り娘) is the Japanese version. In France it is well known as L'âne rouge.

 

 

Now you just have to find out the minimum number of moves for Puzzle A to F below as their values, then put them into the formulas to get the final coordinates:

 

 

​N22° XX.XXX E114° YY.YYY

​XXXXX = A * ( B + C )

YYYYY= D * ( E + F )
