Re-hiding caches..

Here’s my Cache Appreciation Ratio:

# of hides / # of finds = CAR

The higher the CAR, the more likely the cacher is to replace hides as intended, write meaningful logs, and otherwise express appreciation to cache owners.

The lower the CAR, you get the opposite, all the way down to when you get a zero.

5/843=0.59%, so I’m going to round up to 0.6%…woohoo! It’s accurate too, because not only do I not replace the hides as found, I usually throw the container (without closing the lid, of course) as far as I can chuck it into the woods, I only copy and paste TFTC in my logs and if the owner wants some appreciation, they can send me money and I’ll be happy to sing their praises 😯 😛

Seriously, I always strive to rehide as well or better. Better in the instances where adding natural camo helps conceal the cache. When I can, I walk around the hiding spot in a circle just to make sure the cache isn’t exposed from the backside.

Revised Cache Appreciation Ratio formula

[# of hides + # of logs with more than two sentences – # of TFTC logs + (# of WGA forum posts/10) + # of FTP posts – # of posts containing a picture of the Burger King dude] / # of finds = CAR

Looks like someone near Mathatopia is developing a Puzzle Cache……… 😉

WOW, GR! Thanks for skewing that formula in my favor! I’m at 189% CAR now! I do have to disagree with you on one part of the formula, though. Those BK dude posts should be a plus, not a minus. 😉

If you mean the BK king……that should definitely detract from any formula. That guy truly gives me the creeps!

I have no idea what our CAR would be, even with the original formula. All I can say is….we try. We speak the truth. And we have fun (most of the time)!

12/2095 = .006! Proof positive that this formulae does not work for all scenarios, although as a general rule, I agree. The HP2 crew writes, and I am not overstating this, THE BEST CACHE LOGS in the country, IMHO at least. If anyone can show me another cacher which exhibits their CAR with as consistently eloquent and entertaining logs as this pair, I’ll take you and them to dinner!

Just this morning I was privy to a new Found It log on Innervisions|Up the Rabbit Hole, that reminded me, again, where the true reward come from in this sport… you are right GR, it’s all about the CAR!

Many of you know me to write nice logs for every cache I find, even for the simple park and grabs. I also make an effort to re-hide each cache just as good or better than I find it.

There has been occasions where I would find caches exposed in the open so I would make sure I would re-hide it better. I might even make a minor repair now and then such as replacing a wet or full log.

I don’t think the CAR applies in my case as I have just 3 active caches compared to the 740+ caches I’ve found – lol.

My stat bar below says 17 hides, but 14 are archived. I think Groundspeak needs to fix that.

todd your hidden count is correct, it keeps track of all your hides, not just your active ones

Dude, you didn’t read the whole formula! Chances are HP2 would score over a 1.0, unless they have a lot of BK King posts…

Ya know, this explains lots of things about the “math” in your field solve puzzles … 🙄

The “whole” formula is way too complicated for me, I’ll go for the simple, easy to understand, no guessing formulations every time just like I do when I make puzzles. Who needs all the guesswork anyway? 😉

😯 I was told there wouldnt be any math on this exam….

I was hoping for “Extra Credit” for anyone wearing a costume and looking as creepy as Burger King Guy.
