Difference between revisions of "Two to the N achievement"

Revision as of 13:45, 19 July 2015

Geohashing lacks an achievements for numbers of expeditions and for numbers of co-ordinates reached. The one exception is the 100 Saturday meetups achievement.

In the spirit of geohashing (nerdy fun) I hereby propose the 2^N achievement, giving us some "Big Oh" notation.

2⁰: Claim this for your virgin expedition.
2¹: Claim this for your second expedition.
2⁴: 16 expeditions - addiction risk.
2⁸: Wow - 256 expeditions! At the time of writing two geohashers have achieved this.
2⁹: At the time of writing NWoodruff is the closest needing only 67 expeditions. Is that a challenge by any chance?

It's very easy for beginners to claim "Levels" progressing quickly from "Level 0" to "Level 4". It gets disproportionately harder to reach the higher levels.

And the proposer, Sourcerer is a "Level 7" geohasher. --Sourcerer (talk) 08:36, 24 May 2015 (EDT)

The Ribbon

Using the code below, the wording is supposed to be something like this.

"Sourcerer achieved the Two to the N achievement by reaching 2⁴ hashpoints on 2010-09-24 51 -0."
"Sourcerer achieved the Two to the N achievement by attempting to reach 2⁵ hashpoints on 2011-01-01 52 0."
"NWoodruff achieved the Two to the N achievement by reaching 2¹ global hashpoints on 2015-04-19 global."
"David Souther achieved the Two to the N achievement by attempting to reach 2⁰ global hashpoints on 2009-03-04 global."

-[[File:TwoToN.jpg|left]] I have written some template code but would prefer not to make it "live" as I am the proposer of this achievement. I expect it contains bugs too. --[[User:Sourcerer|Sourcerer]] ([[User talk:Sourcerer|talk]]) 09:24, 5 July 2015 (EDT)
