The cache is located near the old Simms Settlement School in a 30mm
ammo can. The Coordinates given are for the school itself. The
cache contains the usual small trading stuff and a pin trade.
Sudoku puzzles and Geocaching are two of the my favorite things so
I thought that I would combine the two in a cache! You already know
what geocaching is but Sudoku? It's really not as difficult as it
might seem. There is no math involved, but there is logic.
Sudoku puzzles are a 9 X 9 grid broken up into 9 3 X 3 grids. Each
3 X 3 grid contains only 1 of each number from 1 - 9. As well, Each
column and row also only contain only 1 of each number from 1 - 9.
The difficulty comes in the number of cells given to begin the
puzzle. The more cells given the easier it is to complete the
puzzle and vice versa.
Using the Puzzle grid given and solving it you then take the cells
circled and, in order reading from left to right top to bottom,
plug in the coordinates for the cache itself from the puzzle. There
are only thirteen numbers but due to the location and the
coordinates given above you should be able to deduce the reason for
that. Thanks to Kool Cats for the heads up.
