Difference between revisions of "Two to the N achievement"

Revision as of 11:00, 30 May 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

The wording could be something like this.

"Sourcerer reached 16 hashpoints by arriving at 2010-09-04 53 -0 and is now a Level 4 geohasher (coordinates reached)."

"Sourcerer set out on 16 expeditions by attempting to reach 2010-09-04 53 -0 and is now a Level 4 geohasher (expeditions)."

Plus two more including the word Global.
