+Leo+3 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I've had a good three DNFs on one of our caches and checked up on it, but the cache was still there! I'm just wondering if I should up the difficulty or not, right now it's placed at difficulty 2, terrain 2. Quote Link to comment

+The_Incredibles_ Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I don't see any caches with 3 DNFs in a row. I see 1 cache with 1 DNF by someone with 16 finds. Quote Link to comment

Or you could add a better hint. Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 We could give more informed answers if we knew if there were no Finds and 3 DNFs; or 3 DNFs scattered among 100 Finds. And if we could read the logs (DNF as well as any Finds) to see whether the non-finders thought it was too hard, or whether they aborted their search for other reasons--crying babies--nature calls--police encounters, or whatever.

+briansnat Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If the DNFs are a significant percentage of logs then by all means raise the difficulty. If there are a bunch of finds with few DNFs, then three in a row, it may be simply a case of "monkey DNFs". One person DNFs,then the next sees that and doesn't search too hard, then the next sees two DNFs and just gives it a cursory search. I see that a lot. In that case I probably would leave it the same Quote Link to comment

+Ethankwolfe Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'd say give it more time, get a larger sample size. Then see how it looks! Quote Link to comment
+lowca Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 If the DNFs are a significant percentage of logs then by all means raise the difficulty. And would it cause DNF rate to diminish?? The reason to change difficulty may be if finders keep commenting 'it is not D2 but at least D3.5' Quote Link to comment
