I'm nodding in agreement, speaking as someone whose day job is a Data Analyst.

Next question, and on a slight variation to the theme, words often thought to be by Shakespeare, but they're not. Who are they by? How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach. -

I'll give you the Ding for that - it's not the connection I had in mind, but it's certainly correct. I was thinking of Peter Hawkins, who was both the original voice of the Daleks, and the original voice of Zippy. Over to YY -

Something in the back of my brain is telling me that Rickard Dawkins is/was married to a Dr Who actress and I know Tom Baker married one of his companions in real life - I'm going to speculate this was the same person? -

Thanks for the ding. Apologies for not checking back sooner, shows my confidence in my answer! OK then, staying with the theme, who's the only non-league team to win the FA Cup (obviously not counting before there was a league)? -

Asking for a friend... If you use facebook to log in to geocaching.com, rather than a specific username/password, how can you log into Wherigo.com and download cartridges? That doesn't appear to allow the same facebook login?

Geosphere vs. Groundspeak geocaching
Beach_hut replied to TheAube's topic in GPS technology and devices
Geosphere is an API partner and you can use it for logging caches in the same way you can use the GS app now. I'm not sure to what extent you can discuss "rival" apps on this forum so I won't go into the differences here. But you can use your existing account so you won't have to transfer anything as such, but you will need to pay for it (on a one-off basis) -

CO enjoys making "unsolvable" puzzles?
Beach_hut replied to geocat_'s topic in General geocaching topics
We used to hide puzzles a bit like that, making the hardest puzzle we could think of to beat our local cachers. But the appeal of that approach soon wears off, as no-one goes to find them, they get ignored. Ultimately, we place caches for people to find. Nowadays, although we will throw in difficult puzzles, we aim for a variety of difficulty levels to suit the varied range of local finders. It's satisfying to hear about the light bulb moment when they cracked it. In fact we've even seen that happen face to face. I guess you could say nowadays we don't set puzzles to show how clever we are, but rather to show how clever everyone else is. -
These look good. Might you be shipping to the UK?

Answering point-by-point: -sometimes the owner will buy a coin and not put it in a cache, and instead just take it to events to show other cachers. Also, sometimes cachers will gift each other coins, through all kinds of ways, but not as a rule putting them in a cache. -you can collect coins you've bought or been gifted. If you find a coin in a cache, you should always presume the coin owner wants for it to move on, and to be dropped in another cache. It's not yours or anyone else's to take. -that depends on the coin owner. Sometimes they give it a new mission, sometimes they just let it go to wherever cachers will take it

Thanks William de Cahaignes and his descendants see their name immortalised in the name of where in the UK? Although the spelling has changed somewhat over the years... (there is a lateral link to the last question!)
