Geocache Description:

I got the idea for this puzzle after solving one like it in Niagara Falls a few years ago. It can drive you a little crazy if you let it!!! Enjoy the numbers and good luck!!

This puzzle will test your powers of logic and deduction. The puzzle you see below is made up of a series of open triangles with a number in the center; that number represents the sum of the digits you are to write in the spaces on the sides of the triangles.where two triangles share a side, they also share the number you have written into that side. All the combinations in the puzzle use only digits 0 through 6. I have included a chart showing all possible combinations for every sum in the puzzle. All you have to do is figure out which of these combinations belongs where (Easy Right???). The numbers in a combination can go in any order around their triangle, and each combination will be used exactly once.






You can find a copy of the puzzle without the code letters in the gallery.





The Final you seek can be found at:

N 26 QR.STU

W 080 VW.XYZ


The missing digits are calculated as follows:

Q=A

R=B

S=C

T=D+4

U=E


V=F

W=G

X=H

Y=I

Z=J


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
