GC9B8AK Find on a specific date any year
G'day!
I'd like a script to check for the number of finds on one specific date of the year, which year is irrelevant.
Ideally I would love to have the output display how many per year on that specific date since 2000.

Challenge qualification: Have at least n finds on Month/Date, where n is the number of Month/Dates that have passed.
Challenge context: Finding caches found on the birthday of Mingo (May 11), totally ing at least the number of birthdays that it's had.
Example: To qualify in July of 2022, one must have found 22 geocaches placed on May 11 of any year.

Output: Display which years and how many the user has found to qualify. I'm aiming to list a bonus 'leaderboard' of people who've found a cache on May 11 of the most years - aiming towards seeing if anyone can find a cache placed on [i]every[/i] available May 11 since 2000 (including Mingo). This bonus of course isn't required to qualify, but would be great to have in the output for interest and information's sake.

Sample output (based on my own current stats using sql in gsak):
[code]
thebruce0 qualifies having found 26 geocaches placed on May 11.
11 of any year.
12 Years found: 2000 (1), 2008 (3), 2009 (1), 2011 (5), 2012 (1), 2013 (2), 2014 (2), 2015 (4), 2016 (3), 2017 (1), 2018 (1), 2019 (1)
