It it possible to create a challenge checker for BBTCs - bring back the cache i.e. a cache that has not been found for 365 days? Furthermore can the checker find the number of days since the cache had been previously found ?

We would like to set a challenge in Ireland similar to GC2FMJ5 which was the original idea and GC4E0Z7 in Israel.

Thank you

Peter & Gillian

A 'Challenge' cache which is connected with other cacher's logs cannot be checked by the checker system of PROJECT-GC..
(The checkers do not have access to logs from others on the geocaches logged. Therefore a challenge to log a geocache that hasn't been logged for one year isn't possible

But there is a PGC alternative

That is:
Loneliness is defines as age/(number of finds)
The age is the number of days between hidden date and today's date if it is an active cache.
For an archived cache it is days between hidden and archived.
Your finds on archived caches after the achiving date are not included.

Thanks for the prompt reply which confirmed what we thought about BBTCs
We will explore the ‘loneliness option.
