Geocache Description:

Kakuro is a numbers placing game from Japan similiar to Sudoku. The idea is to place numbers 1-9 in the blank fields so that they add up to the number in the field to the right or above. However no digit can be duplicated in an entry. The diagonal line divides a field with multiple numbers to find. If the number is above the diagonal line then it is the sum of the empty fields to the right, if the number is below the diagonal line then it is the sum of the empty fields below.

By solving the puzzle the cache coordinates are arrived at.
The cache is located at S43 3A.BCD E172 4W.XYZ

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
A       23\ 16\   34\ 16\
B     \17   Z 17\6 X  
C     34\35 Y     D

E \12         7\8   W
F \15     B 4\10

If you choose to go to the dummy coordinates the concrete fence is most boring.
