The Stacy's, who found their first cache on 28 January 2012, was the 8000th cacher to find a cache in South Africa.

 

During the last year 2153 cachers found their first cache in South Africa. (5.9 new cachers/day)

 

Wow - 2153 new cachers! That is good news for the game. Any way of knowing how many "inactive" cachers there are in SA?

It depends what your definition of inactive is. Of the 8013 cachers who have found at least one cache in South Africa since the beginning, 4585 have not found anything during the last year (57%).

Personally I like to define an active cacher as one who finds at least one cache/month on average. With this definition there are now 1108 active cachers, which means 86% of the total are inactive. Some of these are one-time tourists, but it is unfortunately not possible to filter them out.

What if we defined "active" as having found at least one cache in the last three (or six) months?

 

What would the number of active cachers be then? For three and six months?

Danie

 

Is it possible to split this out by Province?

 

e.g. Cachers with the most GP / KN / FS / WC etc finds during the year ending 10 April 2012.

 

Then we should be able to see the most active teams by province ....

Would the "found" vs "DNF" not make more sense when shown as a ratio to finds? My thinking is the "older" caches with many finds will also feature with the more DNF's but I could be wrong. This could also be something like the favourite points as well. The DNF does not necessarily mean a gauge of difficulty. A case in point is my "Mankwe Dam Nano" in the Pilanesberg. Two issues come up here - many caches log a DNF because the hide is full of muggles and they cannot search for it. It has on occasion gone MIA and caches attempt to find it whilst disabled as many are tourists who may have downloaded the data prior to the cache being disabled.

 

Thanks for the stats - I love them.

Danie, just a "semantics" question ...

 

Why have you calculated the DNF % the way you have?

 

I would have calculated the DNF percentage for the above cache as 10/16 = 62.5%. i.e. of 16 attempts, 10 were DNF.

 

And the 2nd on your list as 8/13 = 61.5%.

During the last year 2342 new cachers have found their first cache in South Africa. That is an average of 6.4 new cachers per day!

During the last year a total of 3674 cachers have logged at least one find in South Africa. This means that 64% of all the cachers who have logged a find during the last year have been caching for less than a year.

 

Since the beginning 8570 cachers have logged at least one find on a South African cache.

Would the "found" vs "DNF" not make more sense when shown as a ratio to finds?

South African caches with the highest DNF:Find ratio:

(I filtered out all caches with less than 5 finds, as well as all archived caches)

 

1. GC26VEV circle # 16 Show, veer-ini-hoed, Free State, 6 finds, 10 DNFs, ratio: 166.7%

2. GC2QNEQ Small Stream 8, NotBlonde, Gauteng, 5 finds, 8 DNFs, ratio: 160.0%

3. GC3CYWH Jack Muller/Danie Uys Park, PieterM, Western Cape, 9 finds, 13 DNFs, ratio: 144.4%

4. GC1FAQC Karkloof Falls Jr., Kwenda Tafuta, Kwazulu Natal, 7 finds, 9 DNFs, ratio: 128.6%

5. GC1QGJC Pongola Uitkyk, I&J, Kwazulu Natal, 6 finds, 7 DNFs, ratio: 116.7%

6. GC3D0XQ Van Riebeeckshof II, PieterM, Western Cape, 9 finds, 9 DNFs, ratio: 100.0%

7. GC2FWX2 Big Tree, akj123, Eastern Cape, 14 finds, 13 DNFs, ratio: 92.9%

8. GCKN2F IMC No. 2 S-ZA- Wind Erosion, trevorb, Western Cape, 9 finds, 8 DNFs, ratio: 88.9%

9. GC1R6BB Clarens Roundabout, Retro Rex, Free State, 17 finds, 15 DNFs, ratio: 88.2%

10. GC3705P Postbox Nr.20, louwtjievdw, Free State, 7 finds, 6 DNFs, ratio: 85.7%

 

Thanks Danie aka StatsKing!

Most caches planted:

 

Oom Louwtjie recently published his 250th cache. That places him at the top of the list of most prolific cache planters in Africa. The top 10 are:

1. louwtjievdw: 250 planted, 14 archived

2. Fish Eagle: 234 planted, 80 archived

3. GEO936: 174 planted, 22 archived

4. CrystalFairy: 166 planted, 76 archived

5. Wazat: 165 planted, 20 archived

6. NotBlonde: 141 planted, 20 archived

7. paddawan: 127 planted, 6 archived

8. iPajero: 126 planted, 3 archived

9. SawaSawa: 119 planted, 6 archived

10. dakardrix: 116 planted, 60 archived

 

One out of every 7 caches in Africa belongs to one of these cachers.

80% of the total number of caches have been planted by 22% of the cache planters.

 

There are currently a total of 11271 caches in Africa, of which 2966 have been archived.

1901 cachers have planted at least one cache, and the average is 5.9 caches/planter.

Thanks again for the stats Danie. Does this included or exclude Event caches that are required to be archived after 14 days?

Here is one I would like to see, which cachers have the most finds out of their own province, is that possible.

Not really possible - a cacher's origin is not part of the available data. I guess one can assume that most finds will be in a cacher's home province, but this will not always work, like when a cacher has relocated from one province to another.

Most active cachers during the year ending 10 April 2012, per province:

 

Eastern Cape:

1. Cacher-SA: 147 finds

2. Bremar Josrut: 128 finds

3. Kingrobert: 116 finds

4. louwtjievdw: 115 finds

5. besem: 113 finds

 

 

It's wonderful to see that I'm second most active cacher in the Eastern Cape. However what I want to find out is when does these numbers start from. I found my first cache on 04/07/2011 and have not looked back :D and I have found 41 so far this year. So does this make me the most active cacher? I would not think so.

It is for the year 11 April 2011 to 10 April 2012. According to my records you have found a total of 129 African caches in this period, of which all but one were in the Eastern Cape. Unless my numbers are wrong, you have indeed been the second most successful cache finder in the Eastern Cape during this period.

Not really... Over half my finds are in GP...... Mmm I think I must pay Durban a visit....
