It's to hard don't try it :-) Mystery Cache

Some remarks upfront: This is a fun cache and I'm had fun during the writing of the description. Please do not take it to serious. The rating comes from the time you need to solve the puzzle and the dificulty (even if some people do not think so :-) ). The hiding of the cache itself is a one and a half star rating.

The cache itself is a regular cache with everything in what is needed. The cache has just place for small trading items, please do not put in big things. The difficulty rating comes sfrom the logic puzzle. The cache itself is easy to find, if you have the coordinates.

!!!Warning!!!

The federal ministry of healthy alert the Geocaching community: The cache "It's to hard don't try it" can cause serious damages at your brain. It may make you not approachable for you family, friends or… for a while. The owner of the cache does not take any responsibility for damages caused to someone health or mind or friendships or marriage... I hope I warned you enough. :-)

And now the task

The goal is to define for every small box if it has to be filled or just left empty with the help of the numbers at the top edge and the left edge of the matrix. At the end you will have a picture what shows you the missing numbers of the coordinates. The matrix of the logic puzzle is composed by rows (horizontal lines) and columns (upright lines). In front of each row and column you can find one or several numbers. Each number is in accordance with the length of one row or column of a connected filled bloc of small boxes.

??? You are really sure you want to do this? I wouldn't. Think about your family… ????

Example:

The "1" is in accordance with one single small box.
The "12" is in accordance with a bloc of 12 small boxes without blank.
A demonstration you can see in the picture below or even better at: (Demonstration )

??? Are you 100% confident to do this? Sure?

The sequence of the positioning of the blocs results from the order of the arrangement of the numbers:

The numbers of a row have to be read from left to right. At the columns it has to be read from top till down. In accordance to this the matrix has to be filled in blocs of the mentioned size. Between two blocs at least one single small box must stay empty! The length of the blocs is given by the numbers, but not the position inside the row or column and not the size of the distance between to filled blocs. The distance to the edge of the matrix is not sown by the numbers either. The correct positioning has to be logically and compulsory determined by the combination of the numbers of the rows and columns.

You can find the logic puzzle (now "logic puzzle improved") at the gallery. Please print it and have fun with this brain burner :-)... Do not tell me I did not warn you enough ;-).

If you follow the link (Help ) you can find a little "program" (made by the geocaching fellow tekan) what may help you to solve the riddle. Click once on a square and it turns black and double click and the square turns white.

When you have finished the picture of the solution you will see the target coordinates(XXX), if you are still mental o.k. and approachable.

N47° 38.XXX
E017° 39.XXX

Please do not put pictures at the gallery which shows the cache final to clear or even the answer. Other players want to solve the logic puzzle by theire own to. I will delete all logs or pictures like it. Sorry.

P.S.: This type of puzzle for a mystery cache was created by the "TeamPepper" first. The have hidden the cache "Klingenbach - Logikpuzzle" (GC1EER6) at the date of 7/22/2008 in Germany nearby Stuttgart. I have just "stolen" the type and translated into English before I created the cache in Hungary. I got the permission of the owner later :-). Thanks to TeamPepper.
P.P.S.: Do not talk about this cache to your friends they may break up the friendship. :-)
