Geocache Description:

This is a challenging puzzle-cache that culminates in a real short stroll from parking and an all-too-easy grab. You've all seen, and many of you have solved, the standard 9x9 sudoku. Well this one is a 16x16...and that kicks the frustration level up quite a bit. It's a very doable puzzle...but it may cause you a few fits...don't give up on it.




Put your logic cap on and complete this sudoku on steroids. After filling in all the numbers in the grid simply work out the easy algebraic equasions to get the oordinates to the final. The final is a hide much unlike the kind I usually place. It's a pretty easy find and one that is quick to get to. With this one the challenge comes at home while busting your brain to get the solution to the puzzle part...the find is simply a no-brainer bonus.


Engage brain... ...solve puzzle
