[Resolved] New Challenge Checker for GC9WAER My name is Catherine and my caching name is green_words. I am a Premium member. I was looking at the challenge checker for GC4JA5V (the associated cache has been archived) and requested a clone for my cache GC9WAER. I did this around July 4th, but have heard nothing back. Can you confirm that this work is in process or will commence soon? I did a search today and did not find it. I'm guessing that you will send me links to the checker so I can add them to my cache page before it is submitted for review.

2. Click on in the "link" button on the right
3. Copy the code for the third option and paste it into your cache description
(You might need to first click on the green button above the description to put it in the right mode.)
4. Save & preview and submit for publication once you're happy with it.

If you don't see the usual challenge check icon you might need to click the Source button above the cache description box before you paste the code.]]> vogelbird ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sat, 16 Jul 2022 11:52:58 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,63696,63799#msg-63799 Re: New Challenge Checker for GC9WAER /forum/read.php?11,63696,63799#msg-63799
Let me known when I can put this link into my cache page. Is there anything else I need to add?

Thanks so much for all of your assistance.

But when I tried it for Wet_Coaster (my husband) there was a message 'caught exception'
and the error log was

[string ""]:433: bad argument #1 to 'tonumber' (value expected).

It should have worked for him.

I tried it for dora_mor (a friend), and it worked for her.

I tried it for brilang and LANMonkey (other friends), and got the same error as Wet_Coaster.]]> green_words ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Thu, 14 Jul 2022 05:08:34 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,63696,63722#msg-63722 Re: New Challenge Checker for GC9WAER /forum/read.php?11,63696,63722#msg-63722 https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9WAER/70070]]> sumbloke ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Thu, 14 Jul 2022 04:36:03 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,63696,63720#msg-63720 Re: New Challenge Checker for GC9WAER /forum/read.php?11,63696,63720#msg-63720
So I'm thinking of the following challenge.

Cachers needs to find at least:
1. 1 cache in one of the provinces or territories in Canada
2. 2 caches in another of the provinces or territories in Canada
3. 4 caches in another of the provinces or territories in Canada
4. 8 caches in another of the provinces or territories in Canada
5. 16 caches in another of the provinces or territories in Canada
6. 32 caches in another of the provinces or territories in Canada
7. 64 caches in another of the provinces or territories in Canada

For example I have:
1 cache in Quebec
2 caches in Alberta
4 caches in New Brunswick (actually I have more)
8 caches in Prince Edward Island (actually I have more)
16 caches in Nova Scotia
32 caches in Ontario (actually I have more)
64 caches in British Columbia (actually I have more)
(my example could swap the last two lines)

What do you think about this? How long would this take to write up?

Not acceptable
Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). Examples: user-defined mapping polygons, latitude/longitude, radius, etc.

So I'd like a checker that determines how many cache finds the user has north of N 49 and how many they have south of N 49, no matter matter the longitude. And if they have more than 1000 of each, then they meet the challenge.

How's that? How long would that take to write?
Thanks again.]]> green_words ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Wed, 13 Jul 2022 04:09:36 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,63696,63705#msg-63705 Re: New Challenge Checker for GC9WAER /forum/read.php?11,63696,63705#msg-63705
If not, several of the tools on Project-GC can help. One way you could check for latitude-based challenges would be to use Map Compare with the centre/radius filter added, using north/south pole as the centre and calculating the radius. E.g., https://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCompare?profile_name=green_words&onefound=on&location=N+89%C2%B0+59.999+E+149%C2%B0+02.207&max_distance=4555&submit=Filter]]> sumbloke ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Wed, 13 Jul 2022 01:41:02 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,63696,63702#msg-63702 Re: New Challenge Checker for GC9WAER /forum/read.php?11,63696,63702#msg-63702
I have a question: how do I verify that I met a challenge if a checker does not exist yet? Say for example how do I confirm that I have more than 200 finds north of N 49 and more than 200 finds south of N 49?

Thanks for your assistance
