While I haven't been keeping any stats whatsoever, I've noticed some looonnnggg hints recently - generally around 12 to 15 words. One was about 40!
<p>
The GC cache submission page says -
<p>
Enter any hints or spoiler information below. This information will be encrypted on the site until a geocacher clicks on a link to unencrypt it, or decodes it on the trail. Text within brackets [like this] will not be encrypted. Please keep your hints short, so decoding it on the trail is easier.

Apart from "decoding on the Trail", my GPS (Garmin Hcx) has a space for notes and I download the hint to it, but am limited to 30 spaces. Several times recently I have been looking in the wrong spot because I only had half the hit.
<p>
I know I should get a new GPS

Have others been having similar problems?

ps. Has anyone gotten around that 30 character limit?
