25 Challenges for 25 years of Geocaching!
This cache is NOT placed at the posted coordinates, GZ is listed as a visible waypoint.
To support Victoria's first ever Block Party, event mascot Muggle the Puggle has teamed up with geocachers across Victoria to place a range of caches for you all to find & enjoy. Whether you visit before, during, or after The Sunbury Event, we hope you enjoy your time in Sunbury & the surrounding areas of Hume.
This series of 25 Challenge Caches are all themed around the number 25 (some more loosely than others). Happy 25 years!
This challenge has not been deliberately designed to exclude or discriminate against any Geocachers, but to create a sense of achievement when you reach certain goals. Feel free to sign this cache at any time, but to claim the find you must qualify for the challenge. If you do not qualify, you may add a 'write note' log until such time that you do qualify. The challenge checker at the bottom of this page will tell you if you qualify. This challenge has been placed in compliance with the Challenge Cache Guidelines and the Victorian Regional Policy.
Muggle the Puggle's Challenge #4 - (25 X 5) = (250 / 2) Challenge
The first geocache was hidden by Dave Ulmer back on 3-May-2000, almost 25 years ago. Well over the past 25 years over 3 million more caches have been hidden. Geocaching has evolved quite rapidly since then with new features, new attributes, and even new cache types. Geocaching started with only one geocaching type, the Traditional, but has now evolved to have had 19 different cache types.
Well some of those cache types involve maths more often than others. I am looking at you multis and mysterys. With cache projections and triangulation, to complicated mathmatical theorems, it's no wonder why some caches make you feel like you need a PhD in order to figure out the coordinates for GZ. However, the maths aren't always complicated and sometimes its just a simple bit of addition needed to figure out where the cache container is hidden. However, no matter whether you like maths or not, maths has definitely become ingrained into the game of geocaching.
Well this challenge has been hidden to honour all those different cache types that have involved maths for better or worse. However, luckiy this challenge doesn't involve any maths itself, besides maybe some counting.
In order to qualify for this challenge cache you need to find a minimum of 250 caches each from two different cache types and an additional 25 caches using an additional five other cache types (e.g. 250 Traditionals, 250 Mysterys, 25 multis, 25 Earthcaches, 25 Wherigos, 25 Virtuals, 25 Letterboxes). Good Luck!
Note: Adventure Labs are not considered a cache type for either this challenge, or challenges in general.
