This cache is part of a series that requires you to find mystery
caches by first solving five Sujiken puzzles of varying
difficulty. Each of the five 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 this cache.
The five caches containing the necessary parts for this one
are:
- "Sujiken-terbury 1: Easy"
(GC37CZD)
- "Sujiken-terbury 2:
Intermediate" (GC37CZE)
- "Sujiken-terbury 3:
Challenging" (GC37CZF)
- "Sujiken-terbury 4:
Difficult" (GC37CZG)
- "Sujiken-terbury 5: Gimme a
Break!!" (GC37CZH)
If you are new to Sujiken, you might want to do them in
order.
The rules for Sujiken are simple, and are as follows:
- The goal is to fill all empty cells in the Sujiken board
shown below, starting with the numbers you collected from the other
five caches in the series.
- 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).
After solving the puzzle, if you add up all the numbers in a
given row (row 1, for example), you will get a number
(Row1). Similarly, if you add up all the numbers in a given
column (column D, for example), you will get a number
(ColD). Do this computation for every row and column in your
solution, and use those results in order to calculate the location
of the cache according to the formulas below.
S 43 3S.TUV
E 172 3W.XYZ
S = Row6 - Row8
T = Row3 - ( ColD + Row8 )
U = ColE - Row4
V = ColG - Row8
W = ColC - Row3
X = Row4 - ColD
Y = Row3 - Row4
Z = Row7 - Row6
Notes on the Cache Sites:
- Parking may be a bit difficult for this one, so please park in
a safe place.
- Please replace the cache where you found it, and attempt to
keep it hidden from sight.
Congrats to pjoyce for the FTF! Well done!
