Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates. There is no reason to go there. 

Solve the puzzle below for the correct coordinates.

Once solved correctly, you will have what's shown in the "After" picture below. I purposely left out the before picture, to hopefully make the puzzle just a bit more difficult. The unshown "before" picture is a logical starting point. The cache can be located at: N32° 30.ABC W084° 56.DEF

"AFTER"

 

Key

This will be a very difficult puzzle for most. Even if you understand the puzzle, you will still have to determine how to get to the solution from the unseen "before" picture. Each number in the key is considered one change to the puzzle. Each change will move some, but not all of the colors of the puzzle in a logical fashion. The key is used as seen from the front.

There are seven changes necessary to solve the puzzle. Where A is the first change, B is the second change, C is the third change, D is the fifth change, E is the sixth change and F is the change that solves the puzzle and gives you the "After" picture. The starting point for the puzzle is: white on the top and red on the right. There is only one solution consisting of seven moves. Once solved, white should be on top and the majority of the red on the right.

Please do not state in your log anything about what the puzzle represents. We want all cachers to have to solve it from scratch.

BYOP, the cache is too small for one.

Congratulations to TeamHaden1010 and WeDeliver2U on their FTF!
