5x5x5 Challenge
 
This is a challenge cache that has the logging requirements listed below. You may sign the log at any time, but you can only claim a find after fulfilling these requirements.
To claim a find you need to collect five caches whose coordinates contain a digit that occurs five times (ie, N 34 44.414 W 118 23.123 contains five 4’s). Repeat with five more caches with a different digit occurring five times (ie, five 3’s or five 5’s). Continue until you have a set of twenty-five caches containing five sets of five different occurring repeatedly digits. Use only the published coordinates. It doesn’t matter which number groupings you use, but you can only use each one once.  (you can’t use two set’s of  0’s, 4’s, 8’s, etc).
 
There are no time restraints for the finds (ie, you may already qualify!). Please make out your list as I have below, if you choose to make out a bookmark list instead, you MUST group them together (0’s, 1’s, 2’s, etc..) AND include the coords in the notes! No exceptions. A screenshot with the coords clearly visible is acceptable as well. All cache types are accepted, except locationless and benchmarks. One set of coords ONLY please- for example, Moonshine (although it doesn’t qualify) is held every year with the same coords, technically they are different events (2007,2008,2009, etc.). The coords entered MUST be the posted coords, not the finals to multis or puzzles….however, if you like to send me the finals to multis and puzzles, it won’t count for this challenge, but I would appreciate it
