Quickest time to publish cache

[+SageTracey]

What's the quickest time anyone has had between submitting a cache and it being published? My first took about a week, my next two a couple of days each.

 

I reckon I must have been extremely lucky yesterday with my fourth cache published in just three hours!

I had one published in about 10 minutes.

Thereabouts 20 minutes, for one of mine. Others were an hour or two.

 

Tip: avoid spring-time placements for quicker publishing.

The amount of time it took me to walk out to the sidewalk, place the cache in pre selected location and walk inside. So, under 5 minutes.

I had one published in about 3 minutes once. Reviewer must have been at the end of his todo list and ready to go to bed when I interrupted him,

Platinum member, perhaps?!

[+SageTracey]

Impressive! Makes my three hours look positively slow.

[+Mockingbird559]

Seven minutes. But usually that evening or the next evening.

 

Yay for the reviewers. Hip Hip hooray!

[+edscott]

I had one in the 10-15 minute range awhile back.

[vagabond]

I had one published in about 2 minutes, which was a big surprise :)

[+T.D.M.22]

Under 5 minutes.

[+GeoawareGBL]

I once published one within 10 minutes of it being submitted Now if every EarthCache was that well done...

[+Pork King]

I'd say about 5 minutes or so

Our reviewers usually publish them in batches, perhaps twice a day. It typically takes a few days for one to go through. However I had one published instantly while I was still at the cache site after submitting it with my phone. I only noticed it as I was editing the page, and had only submitted it on a whim anyhow. As there were about 20 others published at exactly the same time, I can only guess that the publication was completely accidental.

A while back, i hit submit then went straight to the page to check it out. I noticed a spelling mistake, edited it, and it was published when i brought it up the 2nd time. I'd say it took less than 2 minutes.

 

Things are pretty busy for our reviewer these days so it usually takes a couple or three days.

[+ArtieD]

Under five minutes for me...

[+cheech gang]

Keystone just published one of mine that I haven't even thought of yet...

He's just that good.

I have had a few publish in under 5 minutes and an Earthcache in under an hour.

Yep... happen to me too! It was like 5 mins! I just about die from laughter! My reviewer is pretty good. His turn around is less than 24 hours for any caches without problems.

Carrying on the theme - what is the fastest time for submit - publish - FTF? Excluding ones found before publishing?

I once hit submit and was going to add in a background pic. It was almost instant that I got a notification that it was under review so I couldn't add in the background pic. I think there might have been a question from the reviewer because it wasn't actually published until the morning and made it so it was published without the background pic that I added in later. Other then that I think some have been published in about or under 5 min. I actually get to wondering if one takes more then a day to publish and that is very rare here. I would hate to wait a week to find out. Are local reviewers are awesome!

I know once I was working up in the mountains of Santa Cruz California. About a hour or more from home and way up in the middle of no where. I had just left a job and just pulled out my phone to see what cache I wanted for the day for the streak when beep beep my phone goes off with a new cache. I couldn't believe how close it was. I hit navigate on my phone and it said 30 min? I almost forgot about it but then I looked at the map. I decided to turn the other way on the road and it said 1 min. I was there instantly and I messed up a bit and it took me maybe 4 min to find. So about 5 min after publication. I put it back and lagged a little on logging it. The CO was so impressed with the fact I found it like 10 min after publication. I had to message her and let her know it was more like 5 min! Probably my funnest FTF because it was so quick and so far from home or anywhere.

A friend placed a cache, drove home, submitted it, and saw the FTF pop up 45 minutes after he physically left the cache site.

day 3 still waiting I know they are busy, so will look forward to my cache going live

I recall in a similar discussion in the past that someone was sitting beside their reviewer at an event or something, and they arranged it such that the cache was published a second or two after it was submitted.
