I have run your new improved version of

So, I think I have it working property, or at least really close... here's the progress:
https://project-gc.com/Challenges//96553

and it looks like this is a goer. The criteria is: 10 'Oldest Cache in Country' with finds in at least three continents.

Could you tag this with GCB2MF9

(and if necessary remove the GC code from this checker created by vogelbird: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCB2MF9/96559)

Let me get home and run a few people through the one already created. TBH I think I’m going to struggle to find enough qualifiers for the 15, and if that’s the case, I will graciously take you up on your kind offer.

Watch this space, I’ll be back in a couple of hours.

Instead, could I use GCB2MF9 for the criteria, find 15 of the oldest cache in country, anywhere? I think this world be considerably quicker to run?

However, it times out for you... which is frequently a problem we have with 'oldest' type challenges with many different countries/regions/counties. Querying the oldest in a country is linearly correlated with how many caches are in a country. So querying the US usually takes ~15s, UK ~7, Germany ~7 and Canada ~4. Countries with few caches are less mostly 1s or less, but you've got finds in all those big ones, and a whole bunch of others. I myself have finds in all those, but NOT many so others and running me takes 37s. But, I'm not sure how this is ever going to be able to fit under the time limit for someone who actually qualifies with finds from those countries.]]> bmuzzin ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Tue, 04 Feb 2025 04:42:27 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98230#msg-98230 Re: Mutliple checker requests: Oldest cache in country https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98230#msg-98230 bmuzzin ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:55:24 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98158#msg-98158 Re: Mutliple checker requests: Oldest cache in country https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98158#msg-98158 RubyShoos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sun, 02 Feb 2025 00:56:27 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98157#msg-98157 Re: Mutliple checker requests: Oldest cache in country https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98157#msg-98157 bmuzzin ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sun, 02 Feb 2025 00:52:12 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98146#msg-98146 Re: Mutliple checker requests: Oldest cache in country https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98146#msg-98146 RubyShoos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sat, 01 Feb 2025 17:15:06 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98145#msg-98145 Re: Mutliple checker requests: Oldest cache in country https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98145#msg-98145 geoPetros ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sat, 01 Feb 2025 17:09:38 +0000 https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98144#msg-98144 Re: Mutliple checker requests: Oldest cache in country https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,98113,98144#msg-98144
