One explanation for mystery caches dominating the “single type Fizzy grid” might be due to all the challenge caches that have the puzzle icon. Many challenge cache owners explain on their challenge cache page that the listed D/T rating is based on the difficulty of fulfilling the challenge and cumulative terrains and not on the actual cache hide. I’m working on the Unknown Fizzy Challenge (GC4VAGV) and have the higher D/T ratings pretty much covered because of challenges. Conversely, I have big gaps in the lower D/T grid boxes since those seem to be harder to come by, at least for me.
And it’s not surprising that nobody has completed an event type Fizzy grid. The D/T combinations are pretty much limited for events, although I know of one event that was listed as a 5/5 and it was held at an Oregon pizza parlor. Go figure! ?
