Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
There are 2 ways to find this cache. Neither is too tough of a workout, but you'll have to decide if you want physical or mental exercise.

Method 1
From the parking lot it is a short walk to a sign at N41 28.412 W88 11.231. On that sign you will see a grid of numbers. AAA is 15 times the number at the intersection of row 10 and column 12. BBB is 40 times the number at the intersection of row 12 and column 9. The sum of AAA and BBB should be 843.

The cache is located at N41 28.AAA and W88 11.BBB.

Method 2
Solve the following Sudoku to get the coordinates for the cache. Complete the grid so that every row, column, and 3X3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 with no repeats.
