Re: Need a challenge checker for GCA6EXE
Does the checker list out every country with its corresponding continent? My reviewer said I had to actually list out every country and which continent each goes with on my Challenge Cache Page description. I had never seen another challenge where all 200 or so countries of the world had to be listed out like that.
[u]Here is the description I had to write out for my new Continent Challenge[/u]:
The cache container IS located at the posted coordinates! However, you cannot log a find on this cache unless you have found at least 1 cache on at least 3 continents! Read to the bottom to find a list of countries in each continent.
All cache types except Reverse (locationless) and Traveling Caches count for this challenge.
You can seek and find the cache any time you want, and you can even sign the log, but don’t log it as a find until you have met the requirements of the challenge as listed above. All “Found It” logs that do not meet the requirements listed above will be deleted. The Challenge Checker output will be your proof of qualifying for this challenge.
For the purposes of this Challenge, the 7 continents and their corresponding countries (some "countries" are actually territories, but are counted as countries by geocaching...if a Territory is listed, the parent country is listed in parentheses) are [Note that some countries are in more than one continent; for instance, Russia counts for both Europe and Asia]:
