Cache Types D/T Bingo Challenge Olio #19 Mystery Cache

Background

Welcome to my series of odd and miscellaneous challenges.

It was not planned but as it turns out, this cache is a triple milestone of sorts. In addition to being the 20^th cache in this Olio series (I'll leave it up to you to figure out why it's only number 19 in the series ;-) ), this cache also marks the 25^th mystery hide and 50^th overall hide for some other cacher, who shall remain nameless.

I must be starting to sound like a broken record by now. And I'm probably really aging myself too by mentioning a record. I'm sure there's someone out there asking "What's a record?"

Yet again, my inspiration for this challenge comes from combining 2 different challenges. I came across islandfinders' GC9KZ1Y VICS: A Bingo Challenge! after they approached me about leveraging one of the other Olio caches for their own challenge series. As soon as I saw the output from their Bingo challenge's checker, it reminded me of Olio's GC9P0GZ Attributes D/T Bingo Challenge Olio #17 cache. And that's when the lightbulb went on (albeit dimly, and most likely flickering). ;-)

The Challenge

Cue the déjà vu again... (By the way, can you have déjà vu "again"? Would that be called déjà vu of your déjà vu then? Okay, now we're getting into Jack Handey territory...)

If you consider the Difficulty/Terrain grid to be like a 9x9 square sized Bingo card, then to qualify for this challenge this time, you must complete one horizontal row and one vertical column in the D/T grid using different cache types. That means one complete Difficulty row must be filled in using 9 different cache types. And conversely one entire Terrain column must be filled in with a different cache type across all of its 9 Difficulty levels. And where those 2 lines overlap, that one D/T square intersection point must be filled in using the same cache (type). To help visualize what this challenge looks like, here's an example of what a completed D/T grid could look like:

Hopefully that makes it more clear.

As with my Attributes D/T Bingo Challenge, you can also qualify for this challenge by completing both diagonals of the Difficulty/Terrain grid with different cache types. And again, the intersection point of the two diagonals at D3.0/T3.0 must be filled in using the same cache (type).

The Requirements

Some more things about the challenge to be aware of:

• All cache types except adventure lab caches and benchmarks can be used for this challenge.
• Your D/T (aka Fizzy) grid does NOT have to completed in for the challenge, although it certainly doesn't hurt to have it completed.
• There is no time limit for when these cache are found. In other words, they do not all have to be found in one day or any other specific time period.
• And the order you find these caches is irrelevant as well.
• In the past, it was possible to log the same cache multiple times. Those caches will only be used once for this challenge.
• Past finds count. Any caches that you have found and have been archived or disabled after you have found them can be used for this challenge if it meets the criteria.

The fine print

CO reserves the right to make any changes to this challenge if any issues or ambiguities are discovered. CO will be fair but has the final say on any events, caches, finds, or logs that are questionable. CO reserves the right to delete any logs if problems are found.

Finding This Cache

Do NOT access this cache from Highway 2. Please use the nearby service road instead.

Please remember to be respectful of the cache location. Be aware of how and where the cache is "attached" so that it can be put back in exactly the same way and in the same place for the next person(s) to enjoy. Only the "inner" portion of the cache needs to be removed to log the cache. The container may not be accessible during the winter months.

Logging This Cache

As with any challenge caches, you are welcome to physically sign the log for this cache and log it as "Write Note" if you haven't met the challenge's requirements yet. Please bring your own pen(cil)/writing instrument to sign the log.

Please use this Project-GC challenge checker below to verify if you have qualified for this challenge.

BINGO! You can only log a "Found It" entry online after you've hit the jackpot and completed the challenge and signed the log. All non-qualifying "Found It" logs will be deleted without notice.
