Challenge: Titles! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MN.Fruitcake: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

***NOTE: If you have any questions, do not reply to the archive note email. Click on the link to go to the cache page and click on my name in the archive log at the bottom of the page. You can then send me an email regarding the cache. Please send me a link to the cache in question so I will know which cache it is regarding. I will not see notes posted to this cache page once it is archived.

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

This cache *IS* at the posted coordinates, but has a special logging requirement.

***Congratulations to Sharknose Bunnies on yet another FTF!***

We love some of the titles that people come up with for their caches, so we decided to make a challenge out of it! In order to log a "Found it" for this cache, you need to first find 50 other caches, each with a different number of characters in their title, from 1 to 50.

Spaces between words and all punctuation are included in the character count. Previous finds count as well as caches you've hidden yourself. Any cache type is allowed, including virtuals and events. Caches can be located anywhere in the world. All that is important is the title.

Please certify your qualification by listing the GC number and titles in order of their number of characters.

Also, this is an optional but fun exercise: Whenever you have a choice of titles for a certain value, pick out one of your favorite titles (whether it be funny or a clever play on words) or else one or your more memorable caches.

Couple other things to note:

1) Make sure whatever software you may use to do a character count doesn't drop quotation marks, as those do add to the count.

2) As a test of completeness and accuracy, if you change the font on your final list of titles to "Courier New", they should line up to create a perfect diagonal as in our example below.

3) GSAK Users: Someone was nice enough to create and email us a macro for this challenge: Titles Macro (to download, right click and choose "save link as...")
