Geocache Description:

A Santa Cruz nonogram puzzle.

50SUMTIN's Nonogram Puzzle

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, lucky for you. But it is within 2 miles of the posted coordinates. You will need to solve the nonogram puzzle above to determine the final cache coordinates.

What are nonograms? Nonograms are picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid have to be colored or left blank according to the code of numbers given at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture. In this puzzle type, the numbers measure how many unbroken lines of filled-in cells there are in any given row or column.

The numbers on the right of each row represent how many consecutive blocks of cells are solid (in this case, black). The comma (if one) will mean there is a space (not solid) of at least one cell between the blocks of solid cells. For rows, these numbers are worked left to right. The numbers at the bottom of each column are worked from top to bottom.

For example, a clue of "4,1,3" for a row would mean there are sets of four, one, and three filled cells, in that order, moving from left to right, with one or more blank cells between the groups.

I have filled out the bottom third of the puzzle to get you started.

And for reference I have uploaded an image of a nonogram of "50SUMTIN" to the cache page as well.

This puzzle is based on a similar puzzle that I recently saw in the Sacramento area.
