― Subrahmanijan Chandrasekhar
Wir sind uns nicht sicher, ob der Mathematiker Subrahmanijan Chandrasekhar an Geocaching gedacht hat, aber wir wissen, dass Geocacher Experten in der Wissenschaft des Entdeckens, seit sich das Spiel in den Kinderschuhen befunden hat. Wir sehen diese Expertise in der Hingabe der Cacher, neue Caches zu finden und in ihrer Kreativität, wenn sie neue Arten entdecken, sich Caches auszudenken und zu verstecken.
