A: I like the way they make you think about the different way to come up with answers (Coordinates) and some, the places they take you.
What do you not like about challenge caches?
A: Seeing the ICON on the GPSR and not knowing ahead of time what kind of cache it really is until you read the description and realize you don't have the proper equipment (tablet, smartphone, abacus etc..) available.
What would you like to see changed about challenge caches?
A: I'd like to be able to somehow filter them from a traditional (old style) mystery cache so they either don't show up on a PQ or do depending on my mood. If a different ICON could be used to indicate NETWORK required to solve puzzle, I think that would help immensely for people to avoid or assist them in their quest.
If you could describe your favorite challenge cache type, what would it be?
A: The old ones, where you get your answers from the caching experience @i.e. numbers of finds per day to gathering info from a location... Basically ANY thing that doesn't require internet access to obtain the cache answer.
What types of challenge caches do you avoid?
A: I don't avoid them, I love a good challenge cache and mystery caches as well. I would like to decide based on the type of cache whether or not I want to stop and play or go home and armchair the answers later.
~~ The puzzle caches seem to have morphed from the original intent of the mystery cache of years ago. Not unlike the NANOS and MICROS OR the multi-caches which all morphed from the traditional Ammo can size. They get different ICONS or at least a way to filter them depending on skill set or time involved.
Keep the puzzles around for those of us who truly like to work them but allow those that hate them to filter them somehow.
