+FireRef Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Why is it called a Fizzy challenge? I understand the concept - just not the reasoning behind the name - which I actually don't have any... lol Quote Link to comment
Skippermark Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Cacheopedia has a wiki article about it here. Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 From Cacheopedia: The challenge is to find at least one cache of every difficulty–terrain combination (81 unique combinations), while also finding at least one of each type of cache (ignoring certain extremely rare cache types). I've been working on the one in our province for awhile: http://coord.info/GC15P98 Quote Link to comment
+tango501 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I had a blast with ours in Washington state so I am going to make a Double Fizzy challenge as soon as I get off my butt and get all 81X2 unless somebody beats me to it, then I will get to go claim the smiley Hint Hint Quote Link to comment
+hydnsek Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Wow, three responses, and none of them directly answers the OP's question: "Why is it called a Fizzy challenge?" But the referenced Cacheopedia article does have the answer: It's to honor the cacher FizzyMagic. The first Fizzy Challenge cache was created by Kealia to honor the contributions of FizzyMagic to the local geocaching community. FizzyMagic's FindStats program performs statistical analysis of GPX files, and reports (among other things) the number of each type of cache found, and the number of caches found of each difficulty–terrain combination.
