Give Us Your Percentages!

June 1, 2006

I think the percentages of cache placements and hides: traditional, vs. mystery, etc. says a lot about a cacher. Here are mine:

Finds:

68% traditional
17% multi
15% mystery
<1% Earth Cache

Hides:

43% traditional
28.5% multi
28.5% mystery

What about the rest of you?

great, more math problems. :laughing:

Traditional Caches* 134

Multi-caches* 26

Virtual Caches* 18

Letterbox Hybrids* 1

Event Caches* 1

Unknown (Mystery) Caches* 3

Webcam Caches* 1

Locationless (Reverse) Caches* 21

Cache In Trash Out Events* 3

Earthcaches* 1

Hides

Traditional Caches* 8

Event Caches* 2

so what would that be?

If you get your All Finds pocket query, you can run it through FindStats and the math will be done for you.

As a bonus, you get a whole bunch more statistics.

Not only am I too lazy to figure these stats, I'm too lazy to run an 'All Finds' PQ and dump it into FindStats. :laughing:

Wow, whoever manages that site is a smart feller!

Finds:

Traditional Caches* 103

Multi-caches* 8

Virtual Caches* 22

Event Caches* 1

Unknown (Mystery) Caches* 2

Webcam Caches* 3

Locationless (Reverse) Caches* 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Total Caches Found 140

Notes on finds: one of the mystery caches and 2 of the webcams were in Louisiana. The remaining webcam and mystery caches were both over 3 hours away from home. Most of the virtual caches were found during our vacation to Louisiana - either on the drive there and back or in NOLA (the french quarter was pretty much nothing but virtuals) Around home, almost all caches are just traditionals.

Hides:

Traditional Caches* 22

Multi-caches* 2

Unknown (Mystery) Caches* 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Total Caches Hidden 26

Notes on hides: We have had to archive both multi-caches and one of the mystery caches we placed. Even before archiving these caches, they were all very unpopular in the area. In fact the cache we archived today is being done so because someone didnt care for the cache and removed the fist stage. Once again - this is pretty much a traditional cache only area.

Cool! I'll have to try that out on my laptop sometime. What kinds of other stats does it give?

How about this:

I haven't logged 1 out every 5 caches I've found.

One in every 7 caches I've logged is an Event.

June 2, 2006

I'm terrible at math but luckily I have exactly 100 finds (If you check my profile you'll see I have 99 finds but I logged one cache I found as a "Should Be Archived")

Traditional: 96%

Multi-cache: 1%

Unknown: 1%

Event-cache: 1%

Web-cam: 1%

I only have one hide so I guess I can say 100% traditional

2.3k · June 2, 2006

Finds:

95% traditional
2.5% Virtual
2.5% mystery

Hides:

100% traditional

I am working on a muti right now for my 10th hide and a mystery before my 15th.

How do you keep track of your finds as to not go for the same one twice?

Well I'm new here but here goes. 29 finds:

I had been wanting (but not wanting enough I guess) to put an Excel Spreadsheet together to do this sort of stuff, but I never did. Thanks fizzy - this was MUCH easier and faster. VERY COOL!!!
