A take off on another Manitoba Challenge, but this is 1 more, 1 higher, and one higher rating of difficulty.
As the title states, cache the periodic table.
- There are currently 118 elements on the Periodic Table. You must have logged a find for 101 caches whose GC code contains a distinct element.
- Since there are letters that are not used in GC codes, in order to make this challenge work here are the substitutions you should use:
- Number 0 (zero) = Letter O
- Number 1 = Letter I
- Number 5 = Letter S
- Letter V = Letter U (so you can use V for both U and V)
- Number 7 = Letter L
- The "GC" prefix that is part of every geocache code does NOT count as part of any element.
- Any cache found at any time anywhere in the world is valid. So you may already qualify for this challenge.
- Each cache can only be used for a single element. For example, GCHE45 can be used for Hydrogen (H) or Helium (He), but not both.
- The element letters must be next to each other and cannot be separated by another letter or number. For example, GCHE45 is valid for Helium (He), but GCH5E4 is not.
- You must list your qualifying caches in either a log entry with the GC code and element used, or as a bookmark list attached to this cache.
- Feel free to sign the log at any time and log a "note" on the cache page when you do so. But you may not log a find online until you have completed the requirements.
- This cache does NOT count towards 1 of the 101.
- Element #114 is Fl, that's F and a lowercase "L", NOT uppercase "i". So the GC code should contain F7. Element #114 was originally named ununquadium and had symbol UUQ. This symbol is no longer valid.
Please feel free log this cache at any time; however, please leave the online log until you have completed the requirements; otherwise, regretfully your log may be deleted.
