Geocache Description:

This Challenge was created to play in conjunction with the
12-12-12: A Cataclysmic Event (Rotorua) event.

What do I have to do?

Simple really - Find 12 Caches
of at least 2 types
within 12 days,
where total D is a multiple of 12
and total D equals total T.

What's the (cache) catch?

The Challenge! 12 - 12 - 12
  1. Find 12 caches, of at least 2 different types.
  2. The maximum time period, between the log dates of the 1st and the 12th caches, is 12 days.
  3. The total Difficulty Rating of the 12 Caches must equal a multiple of 12. eg:
    24, 36, 48 or 60.
  4. The total Difficulty Rating must equal the total Terrain Rating. e.g:
    total D 24 equal total T 24
    total D 36 equal total T 36
  • The cache logs you use in this puzzle do not have to be consecutive.
The Logging Requirements!
  1. You should log a note to this cache page, stating that you are intending to start this challenge. I suggest starting at any time after your note, in the spirit of geocaching. However Challenge Rules do allow you to use any prior logs.
  2. You may sign the physical log at any time, if you intend to fulfil this cache. Please log a note stating that you've signed the paper log - because online logs with no matching signature on paper will be deleted and if the paper log is replaced, well, no proof equals no find.
  3. You must list the caches, in your log for this puzzle, by posting the coord.info* for your cache logs and the D/T Rating of the cache.
    eg: http://coord.info/GL9W2DG6 D2.5 / T 2.5
    >>> I reserve the right to delete logs that do not meet this requirement. <<<
    (The direct link to your log is used to quickly verify the date logged, then D/T ratings, rather than me having to scroll through endless logs.)

PGC Checker

Not A Requirement...

It would be great if, on your logs of the 12 prerequisite caches, you put the following comment, so that others cachers may see and be encouraged to play this game.

I have logged this cache as part of 12-12-12: A Challenge? http://coord.info/GC42CNY

*coord.info may be obtained by:
  1. "View / Edit Log / Images" after you've posted your cache log.
  2. "Visit Log" from "Your Geocaching Logs (All).

The coord.info is then obtained by clicking on the log's GL...... code (top right) and copying the displayed code (http://coord.info/GL9W2DG6 is the example used on this page) into your 'Found' log for this cache.

In the spirit of geocaching, this Challenge was inspired by
100/100 Challenge (Auckland) and ADVENT-ure Challenge.
