+Traditional Bill Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I recently constructed a D5/T5 Letterbox hybrid and was trying to find a way to see how many of them exist in the world. Of course I tried using a PQ but there's limited search features with that option. I attempted to search on project gc but I can't seem to figure it out. I'd like to have this information before I put my cache description together. Does anybody know how to find this information? Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 There is one near me. I have no idea how to search for others worldwide. Quote Link to comment

I'd like to have this information before I put my cache description together. Does anybody know how to find this information? Project-gc will only search (probably) within specific countries. This search shows that there are currently 7 5/5 Letterbox hybrids in the US, with two additionally archived - http://project-gc.com/Maps/mapcompare/?profile_name=Blue+Square+Thing&country=United+States&nonefound=on&type%5B%5D=Letterbox+Hybrid&difficulty%5B%5D=5.0&terrain%5B%5D=5.0&showdisabled=on&showarchived=on&submit=Filter There are 3 in the UK, 13 in Germany (2 of which are archived and one disabled), 2 in Canada (1 archived) etc... So there are certainly some out there but, unless there are loads somewhere odd, not that many. Quote Link to comment

Thank you for the info though! I assumed there wasn't very many. I just thought it would be cool to add that information to the cache page in the form of "there are X number of 5/5 letterboxes in the world.... This is one of the few". In any case, I suppose I'll use project gc to search areas individually until I have a rough estimate. Thanks again for the info. Quote Link to comment

Thanks again for the info. Lots of places have one or two - Spain, for example, has one as does Sweden. I would estimate certainly less than 50 worldwide unless there's somewhere which is an absolute hotbed of letterbox hybrids. Probably less than 35. Quote Link to comment
