+Danie Viljoen Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Is it possible to get cache planters for the last year? During the past year (21 July 2010 to 20 July 2011), a total of 2077 caches have been planted in Africa, which is 23% of the total over all time. This gives an average of 5.7 new caches per day in Africa, of which 4.9 are in South Africa. (A year earlier the rates were 4.6 and 3.9 respectively.) The top planters for the last year are: 1. paddawan: 95 2. GEO936: 83 3. louwtjievdw: 83 4. Wazat: 65 5. Fish Eagle: 44 6. MadSons: 43 7. TechnoNut: 42 8. NotBlonde: 39 9. gerhardoosMPsa: 36 10.

+Danie Viljoen Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Cache density per province: The densities of active caches, expressed as the number of caches per 10000 square kilometers, are: Gauteng: 700 KZN: 109 Western Cape: 107 Mpumalanga: 69 Eastern Cape: 36 Free State: 28 Limpopo: 21 North West: 18 Northern Cape: 3 South Africa: 53 Rest of Africa: 0.33 The density for the USA is 539, and for Germany it is 5543. (This means that for the same area, Germany has 105 times as many caches as South Africa!) Another way to look at cache density is to calculate the average distance between caches, assuming they are evenly (and optimally) spaced. The average distance between caches in South Africa is then 14.8km, and for the provinces: Gauteng: 4.1km KZN: 10.3km Western Cape: 10.4km Mpumalanga: 13km Eastern Cape: 18km Free State: 20.3km Limpopo: 23.7km North West: 25.2km Northern Cape: 63.4km Rest of Africa: 188km Germany: 1.4km UK: 1.7km USA: 4.6km Australia: 17km Edited July 22, 2011 by Danie Viljoen

Some time ago I published graphs showing the find distribution - there definitely was a Pareto trend, but if the numbers were 80 - 20, I do not remember. I'll redo that one and have a look at hides as well. (I suspect that much less than 20% of cachers have actually hidden anything.)
+Danie Viljoen Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Looking only at currently active South African caches, all 6431 of them have been hidden by 843 cachers. These 6431 caches have been found by a total of 6417 cachers. (It is interesting - this almost 1:1 ratio of caches to cachers has stayed the same from the very beginning.) This means that all the caches have been hidden by a mere 13.1% of the cachers (or to put it differently - 87% of cachers have never hidden any caches. Some of them are tourists, but it still a surprisingly big percentage.) If one only counts those who have actually hidden something, 80% of the 6431 active caches have been hidden by 24% of the cachers who have hidden caches - close to the Pareto number. (Half of all the caches were hidden by 6.8% of the hiders.) 80% of the finds of currently active South African caches were made by 13% of the cachers. (And half of all finds were made by only 2.6% of all the finders!) Edited July 29, 2011 by Danie Viljoen

+Danie Viljoen Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Now, I am wondering about other countries ... The numbers for USA hiders are quite different - they have a large number of extremely active hiders. There are 5 cachers in the USA who have hidden more than 1000 caches each, and the top hider owns 1575 caches. (More than all of the Western Cape. How on earth does one maintain so many caches?) There are 108144 cache hiders in the USA, and 80% of the caches were hidden by 10944 of them, or 10.1% There are 127520 cache hiders in the rest of the world, and 80% of the caches were hidden by 42.9% of them.

+Wazat Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I was working on date ranges but opted to go the provinces rout instead as the date one gets messy when you are forever having to change it all the time to accomodate new caches or unarchived caches... The Macro is going to help, but you still going to have to adjust all the time.....
+TechnoNut Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I was working on date ranges but opted to go the provinces route The macro works for provinces (countries) where there are more than 1000 (or 500) caches as well - or any filter you set up in GSAK. So, set your filter, run the macro and it will give you the breakpoints for that filter. Nice. PT

+Danie Viljoen Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Gauteng Power Series statistics: Up to this morning (17 August 2011) there have been 10252 finds of the 655 GPS caches, for an average of 15.6 finds per cache. There have been 337 DNFs on 138 caches. The most found cache is GPS - Solidarity, with 55 finds. There are 5 unfound caches, of which one has been archived. 20 cachers have found more than 100. 58 cachers have found more than 10. 142 cachers have found at least one. From the above numbers it is clear that most of the cachers do not try to do large numbers in a single outing. The average number of finds per cacher is 72. It took from 14 January 2001 to 8 December 2005 (almost 5 years) to get the same number of caches published in South Africa (655) as are in this series.
