Geocache Description:


This is a first for Rob and Don we have always done the “typical” box in the woods cache so we wanted to try something a little different for us. kinda think outside the box a bit so we took our two least favorite types of caches(puzzle and micro) and mashed them together to make one. The above coordinates are to the parking lot where you should park. To get the cache coordinates you must first solve the puzzle. I thought I was being cleaver when I thought of the idea of using a sudoku puzzle to give the coordinates to our 10th geocache we have hidden, then found out it’s been done many times before butt we still like the idea and have never seen one so here it is THE ROB AND DON VERSION OF THE SUDOKU PUZZLE CACHE Sudoku is a Japanese puzzle that uses numbers but involves no math instead a player or players use simple logical deductions to solve it. The sudoku game board is made of 9 columns down (A-I) and 9 rows across (J-R) They are then divided into 9 boxes that each have 9 squares To solve the puzzle you will fill in every number (1-9) in each of the small 9 boxes however each number can only be used once within each the column or row. When you look at the “GAME BOARD” (click on GAME BOARD left just below the map) you can see that column B already has a 9 and column C has a 9 however column A does not because you can only use each number once in the 3x3 box the 9 for column A must go in row L now another 9 cannot go in columns A,B or C or in rows L,M, and P keep using this type of logic until all spots are filled.( Just like the sample) If this seams to complex try going to this site for better directions and a practice puzzle http://www.sudoku.name/play-sudoku-en.php?a=online-games and click on rules on left. Once you think you want to take a crack at it click on GAME BOARD copy or print off the puzzle, sharpen Your pencil and give it a try when the puzzle is solved use the letters in each row and column as reference points to replace the letters with the numbers of the coordinates each group of two letters equal one number for example on the game board where column C and row M meet is the number 9 therefore CM=9. And 0 of curse is Zero If you have seen a sudoku cache before or are familiar with sudoku puzzles this should be no problem The cache coordinates are N (FJ)(HM)(BK)(DO).0(HO)(DP) W 0 (FQ)(EQ)(BO)0.(AN)(AL)(DR) The cache is a micro made from a container used by people at water parks to keep there money dry when on water rides we will not just give the coordinates out to anyone because they don’t want to solve the puzzle however if you want to email us to confirm the coordinates you got after you have solved the puzzle or you are having a problem solving the puzzle we will be glad to help and as always good luck
