Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates but is less than 1 mile away



This puzzle is the same as a normal Sudoku puzzle in that every row and column must contain the numbers 1 through 9.

The difference with this Sudoku is the addition of the numbers outside the standard 9x9 grid.

Think of each number in the 9x9 grid as a skyscraper with that number of floors. The larger the number the taller the skyscraper.

The numbers outside the 9x9 grid indicate how many skyscrapers are visible when looking into the grid from this direction. Taller skyscrapers hide the lower buildings behind them. In other words, higher numbers always conceal lower numbers.



There is room for small trade items and GC's. Don't forget to bring your pen.

Enjoy!

The cache is located at N37 25.ABC W121 55.DEF
