No they are not dead!
We have eleven challenge caches out there and none of them have a time qualification to them.
What is far more worrying to me is the fact that if a cache is made too “challenging” (such as to find 50 earth caches) it will not be accepted unless it is watered down (to 30 earth caches) to make it more “readily available” to most cachers.
Three of our more recent challenges caches had to be published as rather pathetic unchallenging mid-achievement levels to meet the reviewer’s idea of the meaning of the word “challenge”.
