The challenge is based on the list of oldest caches which is not under the cache owner’s primary control. There is no archived caches in the list. This is the situation where we start.

To modify the checker we need to know which archived caches are considered to belong to this list and in what circumstances this should happen. For example, if the player meets the challenge without using any archived caches, should we go as it is now? Or should we add all archived finds to the list before scoring any caches? Or only check archived caches if there is any caches missing from the primary list.

[edit] And... not to be too easy... how do we calculate the age of an archived cache? Should we stop counting when the cache is archived?

I think that the easiest modification is to check archived caches only when a primary cache is not found. It keeps the script logic straightforward and scoring uniform.
