Description

J & J's fifty-ninth geocache hide. Sick of stats yet?

 

 

The cache is not at the listed coordinates.

This is the third and final installment of the J & J GCA Stats series of geocaches, and the easiest of the three to solve.

 


 

www.geocaching.com.au has a fairly impressive database of statistics relating to geocaches, geocachers and many other things related to our hobby.

In order to determine the coordinates for this cache, you will have to do a bit of digging through the Geocaching Australia website and answer the following questions.

 


 

A= number of GCA caches hidden by the third most prolific GCA hider in South Australia for all of 2016.

B= number of GC+GCA caches found by the fifth most prolific finder across all sources in the Australian Capital Territory during all of 2010.

Y= number of finds logged against the most found GCA cache in Western Australia during all of 2014.

Z= number of GC+GCA caches found by the 97th most prolific finder acrosss all sources in South Australia during all of 2016.

 


 

Once you have all ten questions answered correctly, simply substitute your answers in the following set of coordinates.

 

The cache can be found at:

S35° A.B

E138° Y.Z+9

 

 Coordinate Checker 

 


 

Your search for the above answers should start here: http://geocaching.com.au/stats/caches/gca/au

To find stats relating to earlier years, you will need to manually adjust the URL in the address bar of your browser.

At the final location you will find a small square container painted in the ever popular J & J cammo colours.

Happy hunting!

Never did get a green from the coordinate checker but I was pretty confident of my numbers so went for a look at any rate and, Bingo Mr. Green
Cheers and thanks for another fun hunt J&J

Questions have been re-jigged, and should make the checker give the green light.

Found It!
I found the stats and did the maths but ended up in the ocean. After asking the CO and finding that he had somehow lost one of his own cache hides from 2016, he kindly gave the required numbers to get to GZ today. A nice little spot and a quick find before wandering over to the other nearby cache!

It seems that the stats have changed enough that this cache is no longer solveable in it's current form. I shall rework the questions and re-enable the cache soon.

We really enjoyed the three Stats Scavenger caches as they gave us the opportunity to look at some of the achievements of other cachers over the years, particularly cachers from other states. After a short amount of research, we had a set of coordinates which were confirmed by the Coordinate Checker. Just prior to lunch we went to look for the cache. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks J_&_J for another interesting puzzle and for the cache. As there were no entries in the logbook, we will claim FTF at 11:55.
