Geocache Description:


****NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES****

Alternate name for this cache should probably be “ROFLMAO” cause that’s probably what your initial reaction was when you first saw that this was a 25 x 25 sudoku puzzle. But, I imagine that after the initial shock wears off, you’ll say to yourself “Hmmm, wait a minute, it can’t be too bad. Most of the squares are filled in leaving only four squares to complete. I’m pretty good at Sudoku puzzles. Maybe I’ll give it a try!” So away you go…

Three days later, you’re pulling your hair out and cursing the day you first picked this up. You take another look at the cache sheet and realize that solving the sudoku is only the first step. Once you solve it, then you have to DECRYPT the message below the puzzle in order to find the final coordinates. You throw up your hands in disgust, tear up the sudoku and walk away.

Or do you…

Have Fun!!!

PS: I spent a lot of time making sure the puzzle works. I challenge everyone to solve the Sudoku WITHOUT using Sudoku Solver software
