+Mr. Snazz Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 quote:Originally posted by georgeandmary:Are those ID#'s or total finds? And how did you decide on THAT spread? The question is, how many of you have found geocaches, not how many geocaches have you found. I decided on the spread after performing some mathematical analysis on the relevent data, deciding that the spread I used would be the optimal use of the five allowed vote-slots.

+leatherman Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 What are you trying to ask? Who, in the forums, has not found a cache? quote:Originally posted by Mr. Snazz:The question is, how many of _you_ have found geocaches, not how many geocaches have _you_ found. How many cachers are there? If you do not extend your expectations unto others, you will not be disappointed by the stupid things they do. Mokita! Quote Link to comment

+TeamJiffy Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 1: If you are asking how many caches I have found, I can answer based on the possible answers in your poll. 2: If you are asking "how many total people Geocache" I can take a guess, and put it in your poll. 3: If you are aksing "please vote if you geocache" and then want to count the 'yes' votes, then your poll doesn't help - only a fraction of cache hunters read the forums, and a fraction of those will reply to your post. What precisely are you asking about? I'll 'guess' 50,000 geocachers registered on the site, with about 10-15,000 'active' members. But I am just guessing off the top of my head. -J Quote Link to comment

+Jennifer&Dean Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I believe that in several parallel universes, I may actually be a non-geocacher, but I am in the process of hunting my selves down to change that.

+leatherman Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 There are many universes that you are already dead. Are you searching out your remains, and will you count them as finds when you find them. If you do not extend your expectations unto others, you will not be disappointed by the stupid things they do.

+Jennifer&Dean Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 In the universes I am already deceased in, I am creating caches located at the remains. In the universes I still survive in, those with the technology which my alter self can use get a lesson in geocaching. Alternately, the universes without the technology get a lesson in letterboxing. When I am deceased in this universe, my tombstone/memorial will have a cache located within it..... Gotta make sure Everyone of me is participating! (I really wish I could DO all that!)

Freelens Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I understand even if the others don't. My answer would be 1 because I can only answer for myself. I'm pretty sure that me and you are the only ones who have actually found any, the others are just telling fibs. So that would be 2... no brdad has I think so 3...yeah my answer is 3. Yes I have finds, yes I have hides and yes I'm a charter member. My wife will not let me use our account on the forums...don't know why. Quote Link to comment

More than 20 less than 200. 4. Check our profiles, each and every one. 5. I don't remember. 6. Counting benchmarks? Add 2 but I only logged 1. 7. I geocache therefore I post. Not I post therefore I geocache. I geocache therefore I am. 8. Who, me? Cache you later, Planet "To err is human, to forgive....$5.00" Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 An infinite number of me have found a geocache. An equally infinite number of me have not.

+briansnat Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 This may be the most important question ever asked on this website.

+RangerRick Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 My answer would be at least 10 because I have been with 10 different people who have found caches, but the real answer to Snazz's question would be: "One cache is both the same". That makes as much sense as the original poll. Quote Link to comment
+Nurse Dave Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 All the caches I have found were left where they were. So are they found or still lost because I didn't tell them where they were? ---Real men cache in shorts. Quote Link to comment
