GCWN8Z Extreme Sudoku Punishment (Unknown Cache) in Utah, United States created by Salty-Eagle

This cache has been archived.

Salty-Eagle: Finally got a chance to get up here, and alas, there appears to have been some "water activity", and while where I actually placed the cache is still obvious, it's a little TOO obvious, and the cache is simply gone. I searched around other places within this pile, but no sign of this one. SHUCKY-DARN, this one has to be history. It was truly fun while it lasted, I may do another, should the mood strike...

Geocache Description:

Do NOT go to the listed waypoint, they are bogus. They are "close", relatively, but not at the cache.

Solve the puzzle, and use the referenced number to fill in the blanks. These will give you the correct coordinates to the cache. The cache is a 7.62 Nato Ammo box, and has a FTF Prize, among other things, that will change with time. Large enough for travel bugs, and most trade items. N-Joy! First, you must solve the Puzzle:

Extreme Sudoku Punishment

You will notice that there are small outlines around certain groups of boxes, with a number contained within each group. The sum of the numbers within each box must add up to the total for that group, while maintaining the normal Sudoku format, that is every row, column, and 3x3 box contains all the digits from 1-9 [inclusive].
Then, plug in the below referenced numbers into the coordinates listed here:
N 40* AA.BDC W 111* EF.CGD
Where:
A = Row 1, Column 2
B = Row 3, Column 7
C = Row 6, Column 6
D = Row 7, Column 2
E = Row 5, Column 7
F = Row 6, Column 7
G = Row 7, Column 4

NOTE: You cannot access this cache from the Freeway, you must find an alternate road. Please watch out for muggles, although there shouldn't be a real problem at this location. Please also hide at least as well as you found it, as a courtesy to others..
Contents initially are a mini-maglight, Unused limited edition coffee/hot chocolate mug, Component AV Cables, and some other stuff I can't remember. Please trade fairly.

Hearty Congrats to KIMBEST for the FTF! He earned it!
