Geocache Description:


INTRODUCTION: One of the most popular puzzle games today is SU DOKU. Although the name comes from two Japanese words su, meaning "number," and doku, meaning "single", the actual inventor was probably the great Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783).

SOLVING: Solving the puzzle requires no real mathematical skills; only logic is required. The correct solution to the puzzle will provide the clues for determining the coordinates of the cache...a micro located in the southeast section of the park. The cache is a stainless steel bison tube with a log scroll inside. Be sure and bring a pen to log your visit.

The posted coordinates get you to the entrance of the park closest to the cache. There are usually plenty of places to park. Please be very careful when looking for this one and don't let anyone see you. It is in an area that has lots of cars and foot traffic during normal working hours. The best approach would be after business hours and on weekends. Make sure that the cache is properly sealed (not too tight, please) and returned to its original position.

Solve the puzzle correctly; then, complete the following using the row-column designated number to find the cache coordinates:

N 36 03.[D6][H8][B1] W 80 17.[F2][I6][F9]

Note, there are four other caches in this area: All the Kings Horses (GCM312) and All the Kings Men (GCM3G0) by Pirates of the Carolinas; and, Treasure Park (GCMPX9) and How's Your Algebra? (GCNWZH) by Raven Pop.
