[Resolved] GC3V0M6 - Multiple--Alpha, Numbers, States, Countries, etc. (needs checker) https://coord.info/GC3V0M6 Please test with user: Redfist This is quite a complicated checker. Appreciate anyone that could help complete this. Quotehttps://coord.info/GC3V0M6 The challenge: there are 11 categories with 12 points each. You must have a total of 120 (one hundred twenty) points out of the possible 132 points to log this cache. You need to be really oblate to find this cache, with maybe a flat spot or two. That's why it's called The Oblate Spheroid. Round UP always Longest Streak (measured in days): subtract 5 then divide by 5; max 12. (STREAK - 5) / 5 = X ≤ 12 Days of the year: subtract 35 then divide by 30. For example, 366 -35 = 331 / 30 = 11+ rounds up to 12. (FOUNDDATE - 35) / 30 = X ≤ 12 Cache Types Found: 1 point per type, max 12. CACHETYPES = X ≤ 12 Container Types (i.e. sizes, other, virtual) Found: 1 point per type (there are 7 types) plus 1 point for the second on up to 5 types after all 7 types have been found (to make max 12). CONTAINERTYPE = X; if X == 7 && CONTAINERTYPE > 1, X + 1 ≤ 12 Difficulty x Terrain (number of different combinations): divide by 7. D/T / 7 = X ≤ 12 Countries: 1 point for each country; max 12. COUNTRIES = X ≤ 12 States of the USA: 1 point for each state; max 12. STATES = X ≤ 12 Alphabet: Caches that start with different letters of the alphabet; subtract 3, divide by 2. NAME CONTAINS UNIQUE 1st LETTER / 2 = X ≤ 12 Numbers: Caches that contain (does not have to be at the beginning of the cache name) a different written or numeric number; max 12. Count the number in its entirety and only one number per cache. NAME CONTAINS UNIQUE = X ≤ 12 Total caches found in a day: how many different total numbers of caches have you found in a day?; max 12. If you have cached for less than a year, you can get the numbers from the "Finds for Each Day of the Year" chart of the statistics page. Otherwise you need to scroll through your caches or use a computer program. MOST FINDS IN DAY = X ≤ 12 Days of the year, by Placed Date: subtract 35 then divide by 30. For example, 366 -35 = 331 / 30 = 11+ rounds up to 12. (FIND HIDDEN DATE-35)/30 = X ≤ 12 Thanks for your consideration! https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,16310,16310#msg-16310 Fri, 01 May 2026 20:22:28 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,16310,21698#msg-21698 Re: GC3V0M6 - Multiple--Alpha, Numbers, States, Countries, etc. (needs checker) https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,16310,21698#msg-21698 -------------------------------------------------------

Awesome! Thank so much for making the checker! Works great!

Would you be interested in modifying that script for the following caches?

You have done all the work I believe!

60 Points: https://coord.info/GC3F5V1
80 Points: https://coord.info/GC3J8Q0
90 Points: https://coord.info/GC3NB92

Also is not permitted the sub-challenge "different number of finds per day".

However, you can make similar challenge based on different rules. So, leave all sub-challenges that are permitted and add some new amazing sub-challenge.

Does anyone know if it is still publishable under current challenge guidelines?

I would love to create one here in Australia.

Great job on the challenge checker jpavlik and a fantastic challenge idea redfist.

Round UP always

Longest Streak (measured in days): subtract 5 then divide by 5; max 12.
(STREAK - 5) / 5 = X ≤ 12

Days of the year: subtract 35 then divide by 30. For example, 366 -35 = 331 / 30 = 11+ rounds up to 12.
(FOUNDDATE - 35) / 30 = X ≤ 12

Cache Types Found: 1 point per type, max 12.
CACHETYPES = X ≤ 12

Container Types (i.e. sizes, other, virtual) Found: 1 point per type (there are 7 types) plus 1 point for the second on up to 5 types after all 7 types have been found (to make max 12).
CONTAINERTYPE = X; if X == 7 && CONTAINERTYPE > 1, X + 1 ≤ 12

Difficulty x Terrain (number of different combinations): divide by 7.
D/T / 7 = X ≤ 12

Countries: 1 point for each country; max 12.
COUNTRIES = X ≤ 12

States of the USA: 1 point for each state; max 12.
STATES = X ≤ 12

Alphabet: Caches that start with different letters of the alphabet; subtract 3, divide by 2.
NAME CONTAINS UNIQUE 1st LETTER / 2 = X ≤ 12

Numbers: Caches that contain (does not have to be at the beginning of the cache name) a different written or numeric number; max 12. Count the number in its entirety and only one number per cache.
NAME CONTAINS UNIQUE = X ≤ 12

Total caches found in a day: how many different total numbers of caches have you found in a day?; max 12.

(FIND HIDDEN DATE-35)/30 = X ≤ 12
