You may find the cache and sign the log book at any time, but you must also complete the challenge below to log as a find online.
Find 111 distinct caches anywhere in the world that each contain a separate chemical symbol in the GC code from the Periodic Table.
The rules are simple:
- There are currently 118 elements on the Periodic Table. You must have logged a find for 111 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
- NOTE: Reminder, 7=L and 1=I. They are not interchangeable!
- The "GC" prefix that is part of every geocache code does NOT count as part of any element, meaning you cannot use the "C" in GC for any elements.
- 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. I have created a link to the list of the 114 caches I have found that would count for this challenge as an example, and posted it in a note in the logs section.
- 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 111.
- 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 This symbol is no longer valid.
