Is a hidden/found ratio an acceptable challenge topic? If so can you make a 1/100 ratio for a challenge checker for me?

I'm afraid not, for two reasons.

1. The guidelines state that you can't require a cacher to own a cache in guideline 10: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#criteria

2. It would also count against guideline 14, which states:
Not acceptable:
Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches. Examples: Challenges that require ratios in finds; such as 10% of finds must be Attended logs, challenges that require finding only some particular type for over time, as 100 consecutive Mystery finds.

This is relevant because if the cacher had achieved exactly the ratio suggested, finding another cache would cause them to no longer qualify.
