Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates are BOGUS! You must, instead, solve the following puzzle.

Rules for this puzzle: No intentional red herrings, no oddball (fishiness) methods of presenting coordinates (UTM, for example, or also having coordinates read backwards), and no leaving off the N32 and W97 just to make it more difficult. There may be more than one layer on this puzzle. Collaboration is allowed and you may ask me for hints after there has been a FTF.


The grid on the top is North and the grid on the bottom is West. You are going to use logic to determine which digits to use from each grid. There are several rules that must be followed in order to obtain the digits you desire. They are as follows:

  • You may only select one number from each column and each row.
  • You may only select one number from each color (btw, color is not relevant to this puzzle beyond that rule).
  • You may not select numbers adjacent (even diagonally) to each other.



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

This puzzle was puzzle of the day for 2/20/2018! Woot!
