Re: Latitude / Longitude Challenge
Here you go:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8NGMG/50243

Let us know if it's suitable.

PS: The Most Westerly cache found and Most Easterly cache found are not necessarily the ones contributing to the biggest longitude difference. For you that is the case, but for example you could find your most westernly cache at W179° and your most easternly at E179° but they'd of course not be 358° apart but only 2°. Just in case you find someone where these do not coincide and start wondering.

[s]edit: I just noticed there are some caches that should always be excluded, most notably these antipodal aka "drill a hole though earth" mysteries that are exaclty 180° from the final location such as GC4Q81D. Working on this, checker will be available again in a few minutes.[/s]
