        <title>[Resolved] Continent/Country combination checkers</title>
        <description> Hi,
apart from the recently posted checker request that contained a fizzy grid as part of the challenge I&amp;#039;d also like to create challenge caches that &amp;quot;only&amp;quot; have continent/country requirements:

Bronze version: 3 Continents, 3-2-1 countries, i.e. find caches in 3 different continents, with at least 
- 3 different countries on one continent, 
- 2 different countries on a second continent and 
- 1 country on a third continent

Silver version: 4 Continents, 4-3-2-1 countries, i.e. find caches in 4 different continents, with at least
- 4 different countries on one continent, 
- 3 different countries on a second continent, 
- 2 different countries on a third continent and 
- 1 country on a fourth continent

Gold version: 5 Continents, 5-4-3-2-1 countries, i.e. find caches in 5 different continents, with at least
- 5 different countries on one continent, 
- 4 different countries on a second continent, 
- 3 different countries on a third continent, 
- 2 different countries on a fourth continent and 
- 1 country on a fifth continent

Platin version: 6 Continents, 6-5-4-3-2-1 countries, i.e. find caches in 6 different continents, with at least
- 6 different countries on one continent, 
- 5 different countries on a second continent, 
- 4 different countries on a third continent, 
- 3 different countries on a fourth continent, 
- 2 different countries on a fifth continent and 
- 1 country on a sixth continent

While the Platin version may be really hard to achieve I thought of still requesting for it as it may not be too complicated coding for it if/once the Bronze/Silver/Gold versions are available?!

Many thanks,
Daniel aka. InQbuS</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Brilliant!<br />
Many, many thanks for your great help with this :-)<br />
<br />
There&#039;s one strange thing though - some of the output statements seems incorrect even though the check works fine - example for GC9WH2A (looks similar for GC9WH22 and GC9WH25 for checks 4, 5 and 6):<br />
<br />
There were 6 continents. 6 were required.<br />
Completed criteria 1<br />
<span style="color:#009900"><i>This is fine.</i></span><br />
<br />
There were 6 continents. 5 were required.<br />
Completed criteria 2<br />
<span style="color:#009900"><i>This is fine</i></span><br />
<br />
There were 4 continents. 4 were required.<br />
Completed criteria 3<br />
<span style="color:#009900"><i>This is fine</i></span><br />
<br />
There were 6 continents. 3 were required.<br />
Completed criteria 4<br />
<i><span style="color:#FF0000">This one should have checked how many continents there were with at least four countries. While I&#039;ve only got three continents with four countries, the result tells me that there were six continents which fulfilled the criteria even though just three were required.</span></i><br />
<br />
There were 6 continents. 2 were required.<br />
Completed criteria 5<br />
<span style="color:#FF0000"><i>This one should have checked how many continents there were with at least five countries. While I&#039;ve only got two continents with five countries, the result tells me that there were six continents which fulfilled the criteria even though just three were required.</i></span><br />
<br />
There were 6 continents. 1 were required.<br />
Completed criteria 6<br />
<span style="color:#FF0000"><i>This one should have checked how many continents there were with at least six countries. While I&#039;ve only got one continent with six countries, the result tells me that there were six continents which fulfilled the criteria even though just three were required.</i></span>]]></description>

It is the only existing script which can check, although the output isnt amazing. Please say if this is good for you and if so I&#039;ll make the others.]]></description>
