I wonder what state will be the first to fill a card out. Tassie is looking in good position at the moment.

So those enthusiastic airport beaglies are going to be outbound as well now? Hmmm, I will have to come up with a strategy involving lots of fake fruit they are trained to detect to distract them!nutwood wrote:We're endeavouring to get controls in place so any geocacher leaving the State is searched and if they are found to be carrying a Bingo cache, it is confiscated and returned to it's last known hiding place.

Numbers are are assigned sequentially on a "next number" basis.
Luck is all you have.
Any chance I can get GA5348 and GA5350? I've got the themes for them already.
GA5358 is owned by 2y'stassies.
You can barter with them.
Depends on how much 2y'stassies will allow the WA folks to build up their bingo cards
If both sides agree I can transfer ownership.

Come in number 47, your time is up.FelixII wrote: In particular 47 any offers to swap for 47
Interestingly, at my last tally, we've only got one #47 in Tasmania. I hid it this morning, along with thirty six other caches along several kilometres of riverside walking track. I think in total there were thirty two unique numbers there.FelixII wrote:Hmmmm I hope that didn't cost too much WanderingAus
Coz WA already had 4848.....
But there is still lots of numbers the State do need.
In particular 47 any offers to swap for 47
Okay -- life is currently getting in the way of playing this game as a cacher at the moment, but I can at least indulge a lunchtime maths distraction.nutwood wrote: I hid <snip> thirty six other caches along several kilometres of riverside walking track.

I wonder what the odds would be that someone could take a short walk and fill an entire card in one hit!
Oh dear! - is it the 'several kilometres of riverside walking track' I'm used to walking????nutwood wrote: Interestingly, at my last tally, we've only got one #47 in Tasmania.

Wow. Maybe I should get some henchmen and start a volcano lair. I had no idea the game had that many possibilities. It also explains why out of the 20 or 30 so I have found, I've got, maybe 5 ticks. Hmmm. More planning needed.SamCarter wrote:Okay -- life is currently getting in the way of playing this game as a cacher at the moment, but I can at least indulge a lunchtime maths distraction.nutwood wrote: I hid <snip> thirty six other caches along several kilometres of riverside walking track.
