One for The Beav Team Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

ZSteve: I checked on this one today and it was missing. After giving it some thought, I've decided to archive it. It had a good 8 year run. Thanks to all those that took on the challenge to solve this one.

Geocache Description:


The above coordinates will take you to a place where you can watch the Beavers play. If you want to find the cache, you will need to solve the puzzle below.

I was recently working on some of the Beav Team’s Quiz caches and thought… wait a minute, why do we get to have all of the fun while the Beav Team misses out. So, here’s a puzzle cache as a tribute to not only the Beav Team, but all of my caching friends who place all of the fun caches for us all to come find.

The rules are simple: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 4x4 box contains each of the numbers 0-15. The puzzle can be completed solely by using logic – No guessing is necessary.

When completed, apply the puzzle solution as follows:

44.3A.BCD
123.1E.FGH

Note that in some cases the value of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H may be greater than 9. If that occurs, carry the tens value to the left as you would with any addition. For example, in the case of XY, if X= 5 and Y=12, then XY would equal 62.

The difficulty rating is based solely on the puzzle as most will find it to be challenging. Let me know if it’s easier than expected and I will adjust the rating accordingly. No need to post any times, but let me know if you enjoyed the puzzle.

Thanks again Beav Team for the fun puzzles.

Note 01/02/07: Had to move the cache 5-10 feet West of former hiding place. Unfortunately, this cache is no longer wheel chair accessible
