This is a puzzle cache. Solve the puzzle to determine the cache coordinates!

While I was traveling in Europe I was introduced to these types of logic puzzles and now I’m hooked! I’ve never been able to find anything like it in the US however I’m sure there has to be some buried under the piles and piles of sudoku puzzle books out there.

The puzzle is divided into columns and rows of numbers.

The numbers indicate how many squares in that column or row are shaded consecutively.

There must be at least one space between sets of consecutive squares.

Column numbers read top to bottom and are shaded as such.

Row numbers read left to right and are shaded as such.

If a row has 5 2 6 3 this means that there is (5) consecutively shaded squares followed by at least (1) space then (2) consecutively shaded squares followed by at least (1) space etc.

When the puzzle is completed a picture should appear.

I have included a few hints in the “hints” section (where else would I put them?)

Hint number [1] gives a website with example puzzles if you are having trouble with the puzzle.

Hint number [2] gives a spoiler as to what the puzzle is supposed to be when it is completed.

Hint number [3] gives a clue as to how to interpret the puzzle to determine the cache cords.

Good Luck and Happy Caching!
