Thank you all. I have been out of the game for a little bit and am relearning a few terms. I did not know if, because people sometimes have to solve a clue to get a box, if it also counted as traditional. I appreciate clarification. Happy trails!

How things "count" is your personal decision of how you like to play. AQ will count them separately, but what AQ says my numbers are and what I say differ quite often. Some folks plant temporary boxes at events and list them as event boxes, but if I followed a clue to a location to find it, it's a traditional to me, even if it gets removed the next day. There are anomalies in the other direction, too, where I don't count certain listings as traditional boxes.

This is all in my head, so nobody can tell me I'm "wrong". I think Wanda counts every stamp of any kind as a find, one number, life is simple. I, on the other hand, am far more anally-retentive: compare and contrast.
