9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0!
The CHALLENGE is to find, on separate days, a cache containing at least one of the numbers above in the cache name (not in the GC#), so that in the end you will have found ten caches with ten different numbers represented. The minimum number of days to complete the challenge is, of course, ten. It does not matter which cache type they are (event caches count).
1) To make this more of a challenge, at least THREE of the your cache names need to have the numbers spelled out.
Examples: "One Tiny Cache", "Seventeen" (for a cache like this, you could use it as a one or a seven)
a) Caches with names such as "Second Place" or "Third Base" count.
b) Caches with foreign numbers in their name, such as: Deux or Quattro count (if the number/language can be verified).
c) You may use a cache name that has a number within a word but is itself not a number, such as "Canine Cache" or "Weight For It", but only ONE of the three spelled out number caches can be like this.
d) Caches using Roman numerals can be used, however they do not count as spelled out numbers.
2) Like the Alphabet Soup and Baker's Dozen Challenge caches, you will need to create a public "Cache By Numbers" bookmark that will include eleven cache names - one for the Cache By Numbers Challenge cache and one for each of ten caches you've found. On each of the ten, please put the number that cache represents and the date of the find. For each of the three caches with that have the number(s) spelled out in the cache name, please spell the number out on your bookmark. I will include an example bookmark that may help clarify things.
3) If a cache name has more than one number, such as: My Cache #196 or Seventy-Two, you can choose which number (and only one number) it will satisfy for your Challenge bookmark list (please note which one on your bookmark).
4) ALL ten of your cache finds must be within Washington State and must have been found on or after October 30, 2007.
5) Logs without completing the Challenge requirements or without a bookmarked list will be regretfully deleted. Please do not look for it until you have completed the requirements.
You are on your honor and do not need to wait for your bookmark to be verified before you go find the cache, but please keep your bookmark for 3 months after you have found it.
The final is not at the coordinates listed above!
Congrats to sciuchetti on the FTF in the minimum number of days just after midnight and also to FobesMan for bagging the STF on the same day.
