I have read one post about "a statistic about a favourite rate (favourite points devided per Caches founded)" - but this doesnt answer a question i have 

Is it possible to search caches using this statistic 

I am not just looking for those caches with a high fav count - but a high Fav/found count 

For example : I want to go to Stockholm I have a PQ for 1000 caches - I want to research these and sort into %Fav/Found - so a cache may only have 10 finds - but also has 10 fav points so this would be 100% Fav/finds.  

So is it possible to search caches using this statistic 

Thank you

Tim

Have you seen this tool under Statistics: https://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopFavPct  It eliminates the finds by basic members which is important to help prevent skewing the % value.  Only premium members can give out favorite points so it makes sense that only their finds should count.

Perfect - just what I was looking for but couldn't see the wood for the trees ;-)
Glad to help out and thanks.
Yes, another good tool. Thanks for posting

Another very good one is: https://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopFavWilson

In short, the best caches are those with many favorite points and many logs. And this is a good 2nd way to get the best caches in foreign area. 

I use both statistics and make my choice of caches I want to visit.
