+Snoogans Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 The most talked about obscure stat is the number of caches in your hundred mile radius. Let's think of some others and post some links: The cache with the most claims of initial geocache finds. The cache/TB with the most watches on it. The cacher with the most TBs/Hides. Highest hide to find ratio. Cache at the highest/lowest elevation. Hider with the most virts, locationless, events, etc. Largest/Smallest/Most original cache containers. Hider with the most archived caches. You get the picture. What is your idea of an obscure stat? Sn gans Quote Link to comment
+New England n00b Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Loser... er CACHER with the most DNF's... Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Cache & Cacher with Highest DNF Ratio. Cacher with most complaints. LTF Ratio & King The hall of quitters (archived all their caches) The hall of the damned (they who have been banned for crimes unmentioned) Newbie corner. What city has the most newbies this month. The surge. Sudden cache activity in an area. Twice normal. Snoogans TB corner. A news flash when he released one of his TB hoarde. Hall of Greatness. Owners who get "Great, Wow, Fun" and other joyouse words in their logs at a very high rate). Murpheys Corner. Cachers who have the highest ratio of getting hurt on hunts. The Degree of Snoogans. Your log on this cache gives you X degrees to Snoogans. Quote Link to comment

+Snoogans Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 My sister and I have a cache at just under 11,000 feet of elevation. I KNOW someone can beat that. Quote Link to comment
bcrockcrawler Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Just thought of some more, the cache with the longest period of time between finds The cache with the most finds in one day The cache with the most finds in one week The cache with the most finds in one month The cache placed the farthest north / south Quote Link to comment
+The Navigatorz Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 The cacher with the most finds who lives in my house....hey...that's me.....I won!!! Actually, here's one, the cacher who hunts caches the most days in a row. My most days caching in a row is only 7. There are probably those who have geocached every day for weeks.

+Leapin' Lizards Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Highest number of avatar pictures recognized by the forum public as "you"?

+Jamie Z Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 the cacher who hunts caches the most days in a row. My most days caching in a row is only 7. There are probably those who have geocached every day for weeks. See Kablooey or see this thread. An interesting stat that I noticed recently about my own hunting is my success rate when looking for a cache for the second time. My overall success rate is about 87%. That is, 87% of the time when I go hunt for a cache, I find it, the other 13% I log a DNF. I have DNFs on 26 unique caches, I've gone back to look for 13 of those. Of the 13 second-time hunts, I've only been successful 8 times, or 62%. Of the five I've missed the second time around, I've returned to four, and found all four. First attempt: 88% Second attempt: 62% Third attempt: 100% Jamie Quote Link to comment
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 This came up in another thread I'll re-invent it here. I would like to purpose a formula for those that want 'it to be about the numbers'. a cacheing SCORE if you will. ((Terrain Rating + Difficulty Rating) * Find Count) - Post Count) = SCORE Could also include different point values for diff cache types, say a traditional is worth 50 points, a multi 100, a micro -10000000 (kidding, Man I hate micros. Micro people, stop it!)...... Quote Link to comment

+Team Tigger International Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) Based on the number of 'news stories' geocachers have been involved in.... *tries to put this in a tasteful way* number of 'police investigations assisted' Wulf Post/Find Ratio 0.175202 Find/Post Ratio 5.537313 (not good at math, so maybe they're reversed?)

+SylvrStorm Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 First attempt: 88%Second attempt: 62% Third attempt: 100% Hey Jamie - you should just do a couple quick drive-by passes on all your cache hunts and get those first two out of the way. Then you can do your third attempt and take advantage of that 100%! SylvrStorm Quote Link to comment
AJK Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Wulf Post/Find Ratio 0.175202 I think your post find ratio is more like 5.7 (more finds than posts) Quote Link to comment

+wimseyguy Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Cacher with the greatest distance between finds. Obscure qualifications: 1:Cacher must have between 20-80 finds. This will exclude the occasional cacher who has found a few in their own neighborhood, and then a few on vacation far away. It also excudes the die hards who travel to cache. 2: No LC, virt, or couch potato finds accepted. 3. Cacher must participate in forums to accpet this award. Quote Link to comment
