This is a challenging puzzle-cache that culminates in a real
short stroll from parking and a fairly easy grab. You'll need to
solve four Japanese logic puzzles to get the numbers needed to
calculate the final coordinates. The cache is small...but large
enough for small tradables. You'll be up in Smugglers Gap of the
Franklins right on Transmountain Road. So enjoy the all-around
beauty!
The Japanese are well known for their crazy TV game shows.
But they are also famous for creating tough logic puzzles. Below
are four different kinds of these types of puzzles. You will need
to solve all four and then substitute numbers into the cache
coordinate equasions to get the exact latitude and longitude for
the cache container.
