GC8A9B0 has recently been added It is noted this has been given an upvote - this is a puzzle not a challenge if you know the background you may be aware of the reason for creating this cache The one being refered to - GC89ZW4 - was a challenge cache that originally required you to spell your name with cache titles (see early logs) - this could not be done under new rules and so the CO/reviewer was advised - it got archived However rather than create a new challenge the CO decided to change the criteria completely (now 50 virtuals found) and requested the old cache be reinstated with the new criteria - for some odd reason the reviewer obliged ??? It was pointed out that once a challenge cache has been created you are not really supposed to change the criteria and certainly not completely which in essence was what had been done CO decided to archive completely and has created the unchallenging cache - GC8A9B0 - instead. But it is s simple puzzle with no challenge involved So not sure why this was given an upvote /forum/read.php?12,33380,33380#msg-33380 Sat, 11 Jul 2026 02:00:37 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 /forum/read.php?12,33380,33384#msg-33384 /forum/read.php?12,33380,33384#msg-33384 vogelbird Challenge checker exceptions Tue, 15 Oct 2019 10:58:02 +0000 /forum/read.php?12,33380,33380#msg-33380 /forum/read.php?12,33380,33380#msg-33380 It is noted this has been given an upvote - this is a puzzle not a challenge
