The smallest area you can use is Greater Geelong (C)(2) were there are 591 active caches

You have found 41 caches in this area so I suggest you increase the quantity from 5 to 40.
There are 671 cachers with 40 finds or more at the moment,

Here is the fink https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7J4E7/32655

Please test and let me know what you think of this proposal
