Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are not to be used.

Sudoku is a placement puzzle. The aim of the puzzle is to enter a numerical digit from 1 through 9 in each cell of a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 subgrids (called "regions"), starting with various digits given in some cells (the "givens"); each row, column, and region must contain only one instance of each numeral.

We have a tendency to place easier caches, i.e., lps. This cache is an effort to bump up the complexity then 'Plus Some'.

The 'Plus Some' is that we are introducing rotation. The below listed subgrids are in 0 degrees perspective. When you retrieve the numbers from the back of the logbook, they will be paired - the first is the subgrid number, the second is the clockwise (right-turn) rotation that needs to be applied to the individual subgrids below for relevance to the puzzle.

Steps to solve:

1) Find the order and rotation of the subgrids.

2) Apply the rotation to the below subgrids.

3) Put the puzzle together and solve.

4) Go to the website.

5) Go find the cache.
