Hello
I have a request for two challenges. The first ones are feasible according to the Guidlines. If so, if I get a checker for it.

First Challenge
Find 5 confluence points in at least 3 states. (for example Germany or Denmark, not Bavaria or Ohio)

Second Challenge
Find 5 confluence points in at least 3 different cache types (for example Mystery or Multi)

1. We need the GC codes for these challenges.
2. It appears you've only found 4 points so far?
3. Will have to extend a script to cater for the types, but that should be easy to do.

Sorry
I will not submit the listings until next week.
Are both challenges feasible?
I found 5 confluence points with 4 different species in 5 countries.

85 quo vadis - ???? konfluenzpunkt N52° E13° ~~ GC74DGB ~~ 21.06.2018 ~~ Deutschland ~~ Wherigo

From my understanding of the challenge checker rules, both challenges are feasible and allowed. All we need are the GC codes for your challenge caches so we can create checkers for you.

PS: GC3XNZA is not a confluence point according to the script, since the listed coordinate doesn't end in 000: N 45° 00.004 E 014° 00.009

Sorry, confluence points are not allowed under guideline 10:
Quote
Not acceptable
Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). For example, user-defined mapping polygons, latitude/longitude, radius, etc.

Ok
Then that's done with the confluence points and the checkers. That was my question.
Thank you

Request cancelled by ludy64, This thread moved to ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible).

I disagree. Rule 10 dictates that you can't use latitude/longitude to define an area. It doesn't say anything about using the latitude/longitude values in a checker.

Interesting dilemma :) Is it a determined point a zero size area or a non area?

If you allow selecting caches using coordinate points then you may select any cache by using coordinates same way.

I fear that at least some reviewers will not allow this.

Ah, but it's not a determined point. There are several of these points out there. But yes, we might need to get a reviewer to comment on this.
