Re: GC42CNY 12-12-12: A Challenge? (Rotorua)
As cache CO, here's my input...

Most of the rules could (& will be) be discarded - when the challenge was published, there was a problem with a few - 1 in particular - cachers who specialised in pre-dating caches that had been archived or were disabled / DNF, thus claiming all sorts of things. Eventually, gc.com closed them down. (He had multiple profiles, it transpired, and an entire country annoyed with him. I was probably grumpy at the time about him so made sure he was specifically excluded, using his 'fake' finds & fake caches that he published, FTF'd under one or more of his alt.profiles, then no one else could find them.) After all, it is a D5/T5 cache and was set up for a special date 12-12-12.

However, the challenge requirements in terms of a checker are:
[list=a]
[*] Find 12 caches in 12 days
[*] Must be at least 2 unique types
[*] Total D must equal Total T
[*] Total D must be 24 or 36 or 48 or 60
[/list]

First 2 requirements are easy.
The 3rd & 4th are a question for the experts here to decide upon.

If not feasible, I'd kindly ask that this thread be closed.

Cheers, GC.

Edit: Cache page rewritten to meet pre-2016 challenge rules.
