That's a fantastic Puppet Master! Good job! Like for the Geohash by proxy achievement, the appropriate category is "Coordinates not reached" (since they aren't reached in person), so I changed that.

I drive by the Campbell Barracks every other day and I fear the day I'll have to talk to the guards (armed with machine guns) because a hashpoint is in their base. I think they'd just shoot me. --ilpadre 07:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

But the puppet did reach the coordinates SO, I am changing it back. If there is no point in reaching the hash point there is no reason to do the puppet master achievement.
I do see how you can become very confused about the Geohash by proxy achievement though. On the Geohash by proxy achievement you can only claim coordinates reached if actually in fact the device did make it through that days coordinates. If not, I could fly a kite out of my back porch and claim the Geohash by proxy achievement even though the coordinates could be 60 miles away. My proxy didn't make it 60 miles away, so I could by your terms still claim the award. My puppet made it. If your proxy passes through, you can also claim it.
