Jasmer Statistics

Question

can we have a statistic that would pull up those that completed most Jasmers?

can probably do away with some of the FTF stats if resources are an issue

 

thx

Answer 1

Dosent it already exist at the link below?

http://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopHiddenMonth

no, that only tells you who logged a cache for each month since beginning in general...i am asking for a tally of the jasmer grids completed, see the grid in the profile stats labeled "by hidden month"

---

Is that not the same? I got 154 month on both.
The only missing improvement i can see is loops like exitst on DT matrix

---

Yes, that is the same. Unless the question is "Who has completed the most Jasmer loops".

---

a loop, what is that? seems there is a whole new lingo on this website that is not very intuitive for new people

i thought my original question and subsequent reply were very clear, like many of the stats i would like to see something like this

Top Jasmers
xyz....4
abc....3

and so on, if that is a loop then that is what i would like to see

FWIW i am giving a test drive to see if its worth paying for the premium and helping out, while i appreciate the effort that went into putting all this together there is a lot of stuff that is not very intuitive

---

what does the example stat mean?
1:Number of hiddenmonths with a cache logged?
2: Or if all months has been logged the min number of finds in a month?
3: Or something else?
1 is the TopHiddenMonth
2 is loops in TopHiddenMonth (no statistics exists)
Loops refers to the number of times you have completes some stats, perhaps laps would have been a better term. Ex the min number on the DT matrix. The therm is used on DT matrix toolhttp://project-gc.com/Tools/MapMatrix
I think TopHiddenMonth is a easier name for beginners than jasemer  and DT matrix is easier to understand then fizzy. They try to descibe somthing and not just named after the first cacher that published a challenge with that requirement

>Top Jasmers
>xyz....4
>abc....3

---

I definitely agree that "jasmer" and "fizzy" are useless names for those challenges since they say absolutely nothing about what they're about.

---

well then loops it is then, how many times someone has logged each month from the beginning of geocaching
this is the existing stat right now

how about a Top Oldies Finder, shouldn't be too hard

I know this thread is old, but I would still like to see a stat for Jasmer Loops as there is one for D/T Loops. The statistic listed only ranks cachers for how many months they have found a cache placed in. There are thousands of people tied for  #1 with 208 months completed (# of months form May 2000 to Sept 2017).

Personally I am two months short of my triple Jasmer. In such a loop list I would be shown as

HikingSeal 2

i don't understand why is so hard for this site to make this stat, the grid is already made, just needs to be tied to names

---

I don't think the programming would be very difficult. However, as I understand it it would require quite a lot of processing to make the list, and multiple jasmers (or even a complete jasmer at all) is something that *very* few people manage to achieve, especially for those who don't happen to live in the US. I think it's better to prioritize features that a lot of people will have use of.

(I've been caching for 13 years and working toward it and still have 7 months to go.)

---

the data is already available, my husband made a script that produces the output in few seconds. Doesn't take any more processing than already existing stats that TBH I find quite useless, so those resources can be put to better use.
There are plenty of people outside the US that already have a Jasmer, remember is a global game, people travel more than they used to.
My Geocaching Profile has been proving that stat for years now, sure is off your My Finds PQ, but all I'm saying is that its easily doable.
Took us 2 years to complete 1 Jasmer and 2 more to complete the max 4.

---

As I said, making the script is easy. Running it for one person is quick. The question was for a list of those who have done the most Jasmers, and that means that we need to run that script for every cacher there is. That takes quite a lot of time.

And sure, there are cachers in many countries that have a full Jasmer, but it is very far from common. There are 37 people in all of Sweden to manage that, for instance. Doing that requires traveling to the US (which has them all) or both Europe and Australia/New Zealand together.

Personally, I'd be more interested in making it easier to complete and display Jasmer status for specific cache types.

---

There's no such thing as Jasmer for cache types,  and how is that easier to accomplish? And for that matter how is any of the "top" stats any different than this? Still needs to check every cacher out there.
All the required data is in everyone's profile already.

---

Of course there is such a thing, assuming someone wants to work on it (even though most statistics sites - including Project-GC - don't currently have displays for that). But of course it's a worthwhile goal to try to complete your Jasmer using just traditionals, or log a webcam from each month when webcams have been allowed to be published.

I didn't say that this was easier to accomplish, I said that I wanted to make it easier to work on this target. I've made a checker to be able to work on this myself, in the meantime.

Some of the other top lists are different since they are, from a database programming perspective, more suitable for making top lists for. Others, like Top D/T loopers have the same problem as Top Placed Months loopers would have, and that's why that particular top list is not updating "live" but only a few times per day. The reason we have one of those tables and not the other is that there are many many more people who are able to complete the D/T matrix than all the placed months, and way more people working on doing it many times.

And it's not quite true that the required data is in everyone's public profile. We don't pre-process the public profile for all existing users. We pre-process the public profile for active users of Project-GC, but that is far from all cachers in the world. If you look at the profile for some other users, we will render that on demand. That works for a single profile, but for all the missing thousands and thousands of users it would take way too long time.

Jasmer loops They don't stop at 4, once all the caches for a month are found you keep counting. I am at 5 working 6. I am sure there are cachers out there that have more.

---

They stop at 4 because there are only 4 August 2000 caches which is exactly what your personal stat page shows. I suppose it's possible for someone who started caching in 2000 or 2001 to have more than 4 loops. On the other hand people trying to fill in the "month placed" grid wasn't a common goal then. The original Jasmer wasn't placed until 12/2008. As far as this discussion goes though, what the most possible is doesn't matter. It would be interesting to see if someone has more than 4. Yet another reason to create the stat.

---

RustyRats: As far as I can see you are currently at 2, and as has already been said: unless you have logged now-archived caches for August 2000 you won't be getting higher than 4.
