Waymarks in challenge caches?

[+GeoLog81]

Can waymarks be 'used' in challenge caches?

 

For example, in exponential caches, for which a cacher must find at least 2^N caches of various types, can I allow that the waymarks can be used? Or require some number of waymarks to be found to fulfill the challenge?

From the Help Center:

 

A challenge geocache requires that geocachers meet a geocaching-related qualification or series of tasks before the challenge cache can be logged. Waymarking, Benchmarking, and Wherigo-related tasks also qualify.

I'm not sure I understand the "exponent" portion of your question, so I'll leave that for others to answer more clearly.

Thank you, I wasn't sure for that.

 

'Exponential' means simply something like that:

 

Find at least 10 types of caches:

1st type - at least 512

2nd type - at least 256

3rd type - at least 128

etc.

 

Enabling waymarks makes it easier to fulfill conditions for people that live in the regions where there are [almost] no virtuals and webcams... Of course, the owner of challenge may or may not allow waymarks

Perhaps you are thinking of Fibonacci Challenge? 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711 etc.

I got to level 11. Waymarks not listed, but benchmarks were.

But, a lot of us do not do waymarks. They're not geocaches. Some of us consider them a very poor substitution for Locationless/Virtual caches. Sure. I could go to the church a few blocks off and log it five times. My thought was: Why bother? It isn't that interesting.

Fibonacci challenge is a nice idea for some beginners challenge. The most difficulty is to find so much types, because the numbers are quite a low. Benchmarks are existing only in GB, yes?

Gee I thought Benchmarks only existed in the USA.

 

The type I really don't like to see in Challenges is Wherigos.
