Geocache Description:

The cache is at the posted coordinates, but since this is a Challenge cache you will have to fulfill some requirements before logging the cache. Found logs from visitors that do not fulfill the requirement will be deleted. If you visit the cache without fulfilling the requirements you can log with a note.


Rules

To be allowed to log this cache, you will have to fulfill a requirement. The requirement is to have logged at least one cache for each degree interval around the Challenge cache. Only caches within Ontario count. All cache types including Events may be used, including archived caches. For caches which do not have their final coordinates where the cache is plotted, for example Unknown caches, the coordinates where they are plotted on the map are those that count. Not the final coordinates.

In other words, you must have found at least one cache, of any type which is within 0-1 degrees bearing from the Challenge cache itself, within Ontario. And at least another one for 1-2 degrees bearing and so on, up to the 359-360 degrees span.

You will need at least 360 logged caches to reach the requirement.

Help tool

To figure out which degree segment a cache falls into, you can use the online tool provided below or, alternatively, use the great-circle distance formula to calculate it yourself assuming that 0 or 360 degrees is positioned at 12:00. As a tool to help you find what degrees you have and which you need, you can try Project-GC. There is also a macro (360DegreeChallenge.gsk) that can be run in GSAK.

Your log

If you meet the qualifications for this cache, either provide a list of caches, or post a screen shot from any stats programme that shows that you meet the requirements

Sister caches

There are plenty of 360-challenges all over the world today. There is a bookmark list that should include them all, link.

The cache owner

The Cache owner himself hasn't fulfilled the requirement, when creating this cache he had 345/360 degrees. I will be working on it. On May 10/15 the CO completed the challenge finding the final cache in the 26 degree sector.


Many thanks to ganga1447 for the use of his original idea GC423AB, and for construction of the checker.
