I knew that I was coming up to my 400th find, but got a surprise when I saw my profile page...

B)
From this I can deduce:
Every 4 caches I find a trackable.
Every 40 caches I complete a challenge.
Every 20 caches I get a FTF!

(no real reason for the post other than to share / boast!)

For a minute there I thought this was going to be a thread about weight problems related to too many donuts...

Well done on your neat numbers - Happy International geocaching Day!

Over time, the toughest ration to maintain will likely be 4:1 finds:trackables.

Thanks for sharing.

That is a pretty cool run of numbers. Why not create a challenge to to emulate that accomplishment in some way? It would definitely shape a person's caching efforts.

For me it would be doing a challenge for every 50 finds. We just don't have very many challenges in my area. I've already done the only one I know of within 50 miles. I could probably do the FTF ratio if I wanted to but I don't play the FTF game. I *did* manage to get my 909th find on 09/09/09.

I thought it was going to be about Fizzy challenges...

As I achieved this by accident I would not like to make a challenge cache from it... far too hard! (And I don't like the idea of challenge caches)
As for geocaching challenges, there are plenty of worldwide (locationless) challenges to bump up the numbers!
