Geocache Description:


*Container is at the posted location. This is a challenge cache: sign the log any time, but to log it as found you also need to complete the challenge*

 

Your challenge is to find at least 100 unique pairs of attributes. They can be any pairs of positive or negative attributes. Excluding the 'needs maintenance' 'lost and found' and 'partnership' attributes, that leaves us with 70 positive and 41 negative attributes, for 111 total. That gives us 5737 unique pairs (not counting ones you cannot have, like bonus cache and challenge cache, or recommended for kids and not recommended for kids etc.). You cannot count pairs from this geocache in your score, you need to already have the 100 pairs.


As an example of how pairs would work, say you found a geocache with four attributes: dogs, bicycles, camping nearby, and food nearby. Just four attributes scores you 6 pairs:

  1. dogs and bicyles
  2. dogs and camping nearby
  3. dogs and food nearby
  4. bicycles and camping nearby
  5. bicycles and food nearby
  6. camping nearby and food nearby

If you then found another geocache with these 4 attributes: dogs, bicycles, camping nearby, and in private yard, you'd only score 3 more pairs since you already have 3 of the pairs:

  1. dogs and bicycles
  2. dogs and camping nearby
  3. bicyles and camping nearby

The only new unique pairs you'd add to your score would be:

  1. dogs and in private yard
  2. bicycles and in private yard
  3. camping nearby and in private yard

Since each geocache can have up to 15 attributes, it's possible to have this completed with a single geocache which would net you 105 in one go.
