This cache is heavily copied from colincactus's The Great Date Challenge.
You must find 7 puzzle caches before you can log this cache.
Your list of 7 puzzles must have one cache for each day of the week, and each one must be on the same date in the month. For example you might have Mon Jan 5th, Tue Jan 5th (obviously a different year to the previous log), Wed Sep 5th and so on up to Sun Aug 5th. The month and year do not matter.
You can only log a find for this cache on the correct date. So in the example above you must do this on the 5th of a month.
Your list is allowed to contain puzzles that you solved in previous years, but you must have found at least one of them after the published date of this challenge.
Each date may be claimed by anyone and manyones from the start (unlike tGDC), however there will still be 31 "First To Find on a particular date"s. I shall keep a list below of those 31 FTFs, each of which I hope will be as cherished as a normal cache's single FTF.
There are assorted goodies in the cache including a trophy for the actual First To Find which went to Kermit&Co on the 12th.
Rules:
- Only puzzle caches are allowed (ie they must all have the "?" icon).
- The difficulty of the puzzles in your list is irrelevant, all that matters is that each must have contained some puzzle component to solve. Most puzzle-cachers will understand what I mean by this. Thus the following cache-types will not be allowed:
a) Challenge caches (such as this one) (even if they include a puzzle element)
b) Bonus caches (where you find the co-ordinates by simply collecting numbers from a series of other caches).
- You must state the date you are using (e.g "I am logging the 5th") in your log (which must be dated the same date (e.g 5th) and list your 7 qualifying finds as links including the date and day of the week. E.g
"Found it 5 Jan 2012"
"I am logging the 5th."
"Thu 5 Jan 2012 Parsimonious Master of Ceremonies."
etc
- If you have any worries about whether your list of puzzles qualify you to log a date, please contact me before you travel to get the cache.
- Any cache which is used by the logger to claim The Great Date Challenge may not be used for this cache, whether this cache is done after or before tGDC. Any logs violating this will be deleted without notice - I will be watching tGDC.

I shall maintain this table until such time as all 31 FTFs are completed.
Good hunting. You may also be interested in my other caches.
Please only log a find if you have signed the log. If you haven't, try adding a "write note" instead. Thanks.
