Description of Achievement
This cooperative achievement is achieved by a pair of geohashers. The first geohasher would attend a geohash in a place, for example, Vancouver, Washington, USA (in the Portland, Oregon graticule). That person, having proved their hash at that particular point, puts out a challenge to a geoahshers to geohash a place with the same place name. (for example, Vancouver, British Columbia).
The first geohasher issues the challenge when typing up the hash report by including an open challenge ribbon in the category below. Any other geohasher can claim a challenge when they type up their report if they've geohashed in a matched named place. When the second geohasher successfully completes the challenge, both geohashers gain this achievement.
Special distinction should be given to a pair of geohashers who manage to complete this achievement in a single day or in particularly small areas. Particularly amusing stretching to get this achievement should also receive note (pairing Earth, Texas[1] with any other geohash, for instance).
Useful tools
Wikipedia's disambiguation pages (for example, Vancouver's [2]) are simple ways for finding shared city names.
Proof
Normal proof for a geohash applies, though posting a picture with the two geohashes of the challenge side by side is appreciated. Having place names in the pictures is excellent, but not required.
