This cache is part of a series that requires you to find mystery
caches by first solving four Sujiken puzzles of varying
difficulty. Each of the four puzzle solutions contains the
coordinates for a cache, and placed in each physical cache
container is part of a final "Killer" Sujiken puzzle, whose
solution leads to a fifth cache. A blank Sujiken board can
be
downloaded here. The clue for the fifth cache is taped both to
the cache container, as well as to the back of the log book, in
this cache.
If you are new to Sujiken, this is a good one to start
with before attempting the others.
The rules for Sujiken are simple, and are as follows:
- The goal is to fill all empty cells in the Sujiken board
shown below.
- Place the digits from 1 to 9 so no digit is repeated within a
horizontal row, vertical column, or diagonal in any direction.
- No digit is repeated within the three triangular regions and
the three 3x3 square regions marked by thick borders.
- You can logically determine the solution without guessing.
- Each puzzle has only one solution.
Each column in the Sujiken board is denoted by a letter
(A-I), and each row by a number (1-9), so the number located in the
first column of the first row would be referred to as cell
A1.
Using this notation, the location of the cache can be found by
substituting the cell labels in the strings below with the number
contained in the cell (no math is required, just substitution).
Since Sujiken only uses the digits 1-9, a '0' should just be
left as a '0'.
N RR SS.TTT
W XX YY.ZZZ
RR=F2H1
SS=A2D4
TTT=I1C2D3
XX=A5E4
YY=B8D3
ZZZ=D3B70
Notes on the Cache Sites:
- You do NOT need to park on, nor cross, any major
roads.
- Please replace the cache where you found it, and attempt to
keep it hidden from sight.
