Description:
Takuzu is a logic-based number placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a grid with 1s and 0s, where there is an equal number of 1s and 0s in each row and column and no more than two of either number adjacent to each other. Additionally, there can be no identical rows or columns, although the pattern in a column can match the pattern in a row.
Solve the takuzu then break this code.

Hide itself should present enough of a challenge to be included in my "E"vil series of hides... we'll see. As always have fun and be discreet in the logs. GZ will require significant amount of stealth depending on time of day and year.
**************************************
To preserve the caching experience, please replace the hide EXACTLY as found, be sure not to drop any give-away hints in your logs as this is meant to be challenging. I will delete all logs that provide hints and clues as to the solution of this puzzle. As always, difficulty will be adjusted if it seems needed to most accurately represent the challenge level of this cache. I think it deserves a 5, but we'll see. Cordinates are an average of multiple attempts. You may or may not need a TOTT. It may or may not be winter friendly.
What's with the bracket stuff in the title you may be wondering?
It's simply my personal identifier. The last letter (or sometimes only letter) refers to the hide itself and choices will be:
Traditional style of hide - typically the hide should be a typical container hidden in a "typical" caching way
Kid friendly hide - child reachable, findable and room for tradeables. Aimed at the little cachers.
and Evil style of hide - Something about it that makes me rub my hands together maniacally in anticipation. Perhaps more unique camo, different hiding technique, lots of options at GZ...
If there is two letters together, the first will refer to the style of cache. Puzzle, Multi, Earth, Letterbox etc.
The number after the dash simply is the number of hides in that series for me. Don't expect this number to get too big.
No FTF certificate available, but I will list out the "firsts" later (First to Sign/Find and First to Log Find Electronically)
