Grid/Terrain Points Challenge cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Grifung: We've decided to archive this cache. Some people seem to be oblivious to our requirements and policing this is not something we have been consistent with and want to enforce. It's easier to just close the Challenge down. The requirements were an actual challenge to meet with planning involved but the checker that someone created was wrong and gave false positives which also made it appear much easier to complete.

Geocache Description:

We enjoy a challenge so we wanted to make a few new challenge caches to motivate you to look at caching differently.  We like the statistics of the game and one of the interesting statistics is the Fizzy Grid square made up of 81 individual squares representing the difficulty of the find or accomplishment and the difficulty of the terrain in getting to the cache or accomplishing the challenge.


This challenge cache will have you trying to find different caches in different grid squares to make up a minimum of 60 points in just one day.

The idea of different types of grid square caches is to find multiple caches that fill up different grid squares.  For example: a 1 difficulty and 1 terrain would make up 2 points.  A 2 difficulty and 1.5 terrain would make up 3.5 points toward the 60 points that you will need to log this cache.  A 5 difficulty and 5 terrain would make up 10 points to fill this challenge.  The hard part is that you cannot use the same grid square more than once for this challenge and the caches must be found on one calendar day.  It would be too easy to find thirty 1/1 caches to make up the 60 points so you must use different difficulty and terrain levels.

To log this challenge you must list the caches that you are using and the difficulty and terrain for each cache in your 'Found it' log. An example of the logging would be:

GC30CBV 2/1.5

GC114GF 1.5/3.5

At the end of your log, please total all the points and list that total.  We will be reviewing the logs and we reserve the right to remove all 'found it' logs that do not meet the requirements. Additionally, as per the Challenge Cache rules, all previous finds that meet the requirements for this challenge can be used.
