I noticed some comments about the number of DNF's.

For those that are interested.....

It does appear that this cache is well on the way to being the most DNF in Australia. (Today Australia, tomorrow the world!!! - How do I get statistics for the world??)
Last night it was listed as the 14th most DNF (46 DNF's) , but what is interesting, is that this has happened in only 25 days. (All other greater DNFs (The top being 108 DNF's by GCG16W Geometry ) have mostly taken between 1000 and 2000 days.)

Looking at the percentage of DNF's v's Finds puts SUCKER on the top at 95% being DNF's.
The next highest percentage is Swan Lake (GCR5QV) 41.38%

Looking at the intervals between DNF's puts SUCKER on the top at 1 DNF every 13h 2m 36s.
The next closest interval is The Mexican (GCR8NM) on 8d 22h 33m 36s

Here are the stats I used as of 05/02/2010 - Sorry, the formatting was lost on import.
(Out of date already)

It's also good to see the locals being honest enough to log their DNFs, especially the multiple ones!

Yes well the honesty is important on a cache like this also the sympathy from our fellow cachers with multiple DNF's makes mea t aleast not feel like such a noob for not finding this damn cache [:D] #-o #-o

Still no more finds?
Someone must get it this weekend!
(by the way I just picked up 2 DNFs when I was in Townsville this week - not a caching trip - just a spare moment activity!)

I haven't been caching much recently though I did see this one come up and also that it took a while for it to be found. I guess I'll have to go and check it out now :roll:

Thanks, Yurt. What a hunt it caused me, and in the end it was there staring me in the face. :oops:
All I ended up needing to do was to look more carefully.
Yes, I sure am relieved that this little Sucker is off my unfound list! \:D/ \:D/

And now I just have to work out these puzzle caches.....

I cannot get onto GC at the moment to put in a log but it appears that this cache has been muggled sometime in the last few days. It is no longer visible in the vicinity of GZ.

Yes I have attended GZ and have temporarily disabled the cache because it has been muggled. 8)
But stay tuned.... :D ....I intend to have it enabled by next week-end. (27th Feb) \:D/
