  1. Presuming I got the answer right, I'll ask the next question, and it's about pubs. Reputedly the oldest pub in England, dating from 1189. For the ding, tell me either the name of the pub or the city it's located in. And the one I'm thinking of has a religious connection.
  2. From our own experiences: Hid a cache one day, only to find out another cacher hid a cache in almost exactly the same place (theirs at the base of a tree, ours in the same tree) on the same day. Hid a cache, it was published, one of the early loggers mentioned there had been a cache here before, unbeknownst to us. We then received a log from a finder who had found the original cache, which had been presumed missing by the owner and eventually archived for non-maintenance. Only it was there and in perfect condition, undiscovered for about 3 years. Looking for places to find a cache, found someone else's unpublished cache (and didn't claim the FTF) Found a multi by chance about 300 feet from where we expected it to be, only because we by chance looked at somewhere that matched the very vague clue. (In all likelihood, our co-ords were wrong) Another cacher found one of our puzzles by chance, as he spotted the hiding place, and was just hiding one there himself, put his hand on our cache...
  3. I don't know what you mean... these questions come up quite regularly in the pub quiz at my local, the Higgs & Boson ;-) Fair point, although momentum is covered in the A level Further Maths Syllabus (and I dare say Physics too) I'm sure it was touched on when I did GCSE Science in the 90s.
  4. Momentum. Funnily enough, I was looking over a puzzle cache yesterday that covered this sort of ground.
  5. I had the same scenario a while back... Normally if you contact GS with the details, they can activate it for you.
  6. In principle a good idea, but I don't think the trackable logs are tied up to the cache logs on the system itself, even though drop off/visit logs can be done at the same time you log the cache. Discovering/retrieving logs on the TBs that are already in there is always a separate action. So in short, I'm not sure you'd be able to combine TB logs and cache logs as you have done in your example?
  7. Thanks my question is about something someone said about Switzerland: For the ding can you tell me either what film the quote is from, or who wrote that bit?
  8. French, German, Italian and there's another local one. I think it might be Romance or something like that?
  9. No, it's definitely down. There are some sites that do some of the things it does, but nothing that does anything all of it. Edit: oh wait, it's up again.
  10. I believe in certain parts of London the police are circulated details of caches and their locations, but a reviewer would be best placed to advise. I think it's anywhere within the SW1 postcode at least?
  11. Ours is about 22km from home. Spooky coincidence - it works out as being in the middle of a village, where we found caches and went to an event this past Saturday, within a matter of a hundred or so metres of our centroid!
  12. Thanks :-) Here we go with another celebrated (ish) sporting Gooch. Nicky Gooch is a British Olympic medallist in which sport?
  13. Ah, then it might be Graham Gooch then? I'm sure he got 333 in an innings then, so I'm guessing he scored highly in the other innings too?
  14. You can do this using project GC. Have a look at http://project-gc.com/Maps/ComingEvents
  15. However any unpublished caches you might have had "in-flight" at the time the new submission wizard was rolled out would still require a waypoint denoting what the starting co-ords were. Although I think an edit of your cache page selecting Physical or Virtual would have done the trick?
  16. I'm not understanding why one would need to do that. All your cache hides are listed on your profile, including the archived ones. What would one need with a pq of one's archived hides? B. To be fair, we don't particularly have need to, although that's what we get. I mentioned it as it pertains to the OP's question, as they're after their archived events. The one advantage it does give to us though, is that we regularly filter our GSAK database for caches that haven't been updated in so many days, so we can refresh if they've been archived in the meantime. Having updated our archived caches stops them appearing in this filter. Yes I know we could filter differently so this doesn't come up, it's just how we do our GSAK workflow.
  17. The other way to do it, which we do, is to add all of your own caches to a bookmark list and run a PQ off that. That returns them, archived or not.
  18. Ah, is that because letters in the Cyrillic Alphabet aren't covered by the ROT-13 encryption?
  19. A slight side question if I may? Say you're on a streak, and you've got two unfound caches that are close by one another (say just over 0.1 miles) If you find one, keeping your streak going for today, would you consider it a bit dodgy to do a little recce for the second one, even going as far as finding the actual container but not signing the log, then coming back another day to sign the log, and calling that your cache for *that* day?
  20. Happens for me too. I notice that combination is the end of the GC code that TB wanted to end up at. There's a hyperlink on the TB page. Maybe somehow it got confused in the database?
  21. There's the "really sidetracked" series. You have the sidetracked series near active stations, and the really sidetracked near disused ones, if memory serves?
  22. Well Freddie was born Farrokh (sp?) Bulsara, and changed his name to Freddie as a teenager I think, but I believe the Mercury came later. Is it Freddie Bulsara you're after?
