Geocache Description:

There is No Cache at the Posted Coordinates!  

To find the cache, solve Gladys Knight's favorite puzzle below.

When I was a kid, we used to stand dominoes on end in long convoluted lines and then knock them over in great cascades. It was only when I got older I discovered they were used for an actual game, but I find I'd still rather stack them up and watch as they all fall down. Now, they are used in this puzzle!



Above you'll see a complete 9 pip dominoes set, but I've gone and removed all of the edges leaving you to determine how they are placed. I've also flipped one domino over so you can't see the number of pips, so you'll have to determine what it is!

Once you have the positions determined, separate the vertically aligned dominoes (left to right, top to bottom) and the horizontally aligned ones (top to bottom, left to right) into two rows and plug them into the matrix below to get the coordinates. The first/top number is the row, and the second/bottom number is the column. I've included an example to help you out.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

When hunting this, please be stealthy as students are often nearby. It is a small Lock-n-Lock with room for small trinkets.

Congrats to JBT for the First to Find! They'd have earned a reward, but that 'pip pip cheerio' comment was so bad I'm retracting it. *evil grin*
