Geocache Description:

***ATTENTION***Please note the above coordinates are for parking only. Solve the puzzle for the cache. Located at the B. B. Cook Memorial Park on Route 9 in Troy. Outhouse and picnic tables are available. Cache area is rocky so be careful if ground is wet or snowy. Cache is in an ammo box. Having lost my mind trying to do some puzzle caches recently, I decided to try making one myself. This is a level 1 Sudoko puzzle and will prepare you for further Sudoko adventures.

The puzzle is most frequently a 9×9 grid, made up of 3×3 subgrids called "regions" (other terms include "boxes", "blocks", and the like when referring to the standard variation; even "quadrants" is sometimes used, despite this being an inaccurate term for a 9×9 grid). Some cells already contain numerals, known as "givens" (or sometimes as "clues"). The goal is to fill in the empty cells, one numeral in each, so that each column, row, and region contains the numerals 1–9 exactly once. Each numeral in the solution therefore occurs only once in each of three "directions" or "scopes", hence the "single numbers" implied by the puzzle's name. If anyone has trouble with the puzzle, email us, we'll send you a hint.
