Geocache Description:

A small cache with a dice theme that is not at the location listed. You will need to solve the puzzle to determine a->f to work out the new location.

Story - with obscure references to 3 other caches
Dr. Black scratched his head thoughtfully, munching on some TicTacs.
"Alice, I do believe there are too many solutions for this puzzle!"

A Kakuro Puzzle

"There shouldn't be.", buzzed Alice, who had just flown in from the
conservatory.
"The ten sided dice were too big for a little bee like me to roll."
"Dice?" said Black.
"Why yes", said Alice, "I found the numbers by rolling your dice."
"For each number of 2 to 5 digits I rolled the required dice until they
all showed different spots."
"And then I added up the spots to get the totals in white."
"Ah well, in that case it's simple!", said the Doctor triumphantly.
"And then I hid the dice", interupted Eve, who had also just flown in.
"You what! How will we ever play Yahtzee again?"
"Well, if you change the fraction of the original minutes to
ab(c+2) and de(f+1), you shouldn't have a problem", sneered Eve. How to solve In the image above you need to insert a digit into each white square. The range of digits 1 -> ? can be found by carefully reading the story above.
The white squares need to be added up as either a vertical or horizontal series of digits and their sum is given by the white number either above or to the left of the column or row.
FYI This was the first Geocache in the world to use a Kakuro puzzle. Australia leading the way again..
