IDENTIFICATION
Difficulty 1.5; Terrain 1.5; size regular; Creator: TeamDJM Date First Hidden: 6/12/2010 Date Last Found: 6/20/2010 Description The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You will need to sovle the puzzle to get: N49 38.ABC and W112 49.DEF where; A=C5 - B=E4 - C=G3 - D=I1 - E=A2 - F=D7 There are a lot of Sudoku puzzle caches out there and we felt that Lethbridge needs one. “J” loves doing them – “D” not so much, so you know who to blame for this one! Sudoku is fun and this one is particularly easy to do. There is no math involved – just reasoning and logic. Fill in the grid so that every row, column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. Good Luck! You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com. Hint Go Figure! Comments
PLANNING
Today I set up a plan for 7 searches in the vicinity of the Lethbridge airport. All 7 geocaches were part of the CARL2 event in June. Two of the caches involved solving some form of puzzle in order to obtain the correct coordinates.
OUTCOME
This was my 5th search for the morning. This was the first puzzle cache of the day. It has been a long time since I did one of these puzzles. Fortunately the puzzle was rated as easy. The actual search at the computed coordinates gave me some serious trouble. I looked into the shrubbery for almost half an hour before I finally spotted it. Some bushes are like that.
Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
The Sudoku was fun but the hide took me far too long to find. Strange how sometimes it takes only a few seconds and other times it takes forever and then a little bit longer. TNLNSL. TFTP & TFTC. Here are a few photos:
