What if one geocache qualifies for both of the April collections?

[Smilas]

For the new April collections, to access them, you need to complete the first 2 collections. But the first egg and first challenge both have the same requirements, so which one would a cache qualify for?

Will more Treasure be available in the future?
Starting April 1, two new collections of Treasures, Navigational tools and Egg hunt, will be available for geocachers to collect when they find and log qualifying geocaches. To access these collections, you must first complete the Celebrating 25 years collection.

Navigational tools
This collection celebrates the tools that explorers have used to navigate the world. The collection features five Treasures ranging from an astrolabe to a map.

You can collect these Treasures by finding and logging any Traditional geocache with a difficulty rating of 2 or higher, and a terrain rating of 1.5 or lower.

Egg hunt

This collection highlights seven different geocache types with seven different Treasures. Each Treasure in this collection has different criteria for the geocaches you have to find and log in order to collect the Treasure. The Treasure can be collected in any order:

• Egg 1: Collect by finding and logging one Traditional Cache with a difficulty rating of 2 or above
• Egg 2: Collect by finding and logging one Mystery Cache with a difficulty rating of 2 or above
• Egg 3: Collect by finding and logging one Multi-Cache with a difficulty rating of 2 or above
• Egg 4: Collect by finding and logging one Letterbox Hybrid with a difficulty rating of 2 or above
• Egg 5: Collect by attending any regular Event Cache
• Egg 6: Collect by finding and logging any EarthCache
• Egg 7: Collect by finding and logging any Virtual Cache

Hard to tell, and as the geocache could apply to either one, you may get either of the treasures. 

This is why if two people log the same cache, one may get a navigational treasure, and the other a trad egg.

The following forum discussion might shed some light on collecting treasures:

In March, you had to complete the first one before starting on the second one.  In April -- my first cache, which was a traditional 1.5/4, gave me the traditional egg.   I really wanted it to give me one of the navigational aids treasures, as those are a bit more stringent on the requirements and I dont have as many options with them.
