Why is my "unique cache" count less than my "find count"? (I have no bad logs.)

Question

I have 1346 finds on 1345 unique caches but, when I run "find bad logs" the count is zero.  (I have also manually veriified all 1346 of my logs and none is deplicate.)

Answer 1

If i run find bad logs you get one dupe log

And you have have two identical logs on 2013-07-20

Thank you!  I have tried to find and fix this more than once.  (It was logged during a mega and I focused on the larger series manually looking for the problem.)  I don't know why the bad log utility didn't find it for me but I have now fixed it.  Thank you very much.

Answer 2

The two counts will also be out of sync if you claim multiple finds for a single cache.  For example, some challenge caches allow you to claim more than one find if you meet the challenge in different ways (like finding caches in three states in a single day--and you accomplish that in multiple/different sets of three states).

 

Those cases would not be "duplicate" logs but would still show more finds than unique caches (as mine does).
