Hi, Please remove the existing checker for GC5JYY9, The Florida Lonely Cache Challenge. The checker incorrectly tells you you qualify after finding one cache that has been lonely for 183 days. it should be 3653 days. Multiple people have used the checker and tried to claim the find because of this erroneous result. Please decline to create checkers for this grandfathered challenge in the future. There are some very specific instructions on the cache page. By asking for a checker that only requires a cache that went unfound for only 183 days, I suspect whoever requested this checker asked for that number arbitrarily (minimum time a cache can go unfound to qualify is 190 days).

You don’t need one cache, though you cloud.

Your find doesn’t qualify with 183 days between finds. It must be 190 days.

I’m really not interested in a justification. I want the checker removed. The challenge worked great as it was before a checker. The checker, in this instance and as you point out, causes confusion. It also allows for caches that do not meet the minimum requirement to qualify.

Please Remove the checker without any further argument. I’m not interested in arguments as to why it “works”. It doesn’t.]]> PhMJ ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sun, 14 Jun 2020 17:28:29 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,40742,40748#msg-40748 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,40742,40748#msg-40748 I had this question before that the CO is reading the result incorrect
OK: found 157 caches (needed: 1) not found in 183 days totaling 250 points (needed: 20)

The problem is " found 157 caches (needed: 1) not found in 183 days"

It looks as if you only need 1 cache which is not found for 183 days
but if you look further you only qualify with a minimum of 20 point ( 20 caches @ 183days)

The scoring in the checker is
6 months = 1 point
1 year = 2 points
1.5 years = 3 ponts
2 years = 4 points
etc.]]> vogelbird ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sun, 14 Jun 2020 16:50:30 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,40742,40747#msg-40747 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,40742,40747#msg-40747 PhMJ ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sun, 14 Jun 2020 16:32:29 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,40742,40746#msg-40746 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,40742,40746#msg-40746 AND get enough points (20).

Please remove the checker. It does not work.
