Re: GC9EGHX - Requesting checker for 5 virtual caches found in a day

[Cancelled] GC9EGHX - Requesting checker for 5 virtual caches found in a day
July 30, 2021 05:42PM
Hello,

I am in the process of creating a cache where the challenge will simply be having found 5 virtual caches in a single day.

(I myself found 6 virtual caches 18.07.2021)

I have started creating the cache GC9EGHX but not sent it for approval yet.

Help establishing a challence checker would be much appreciated

Unfortunately, this is against the guidelines:

Criteria 9
Quote

Time-limited caching: as in some number of finds per day, week, month, or year. Examples: Busy Day, 50 finds in a day, 500 finds in a month, etc

Thank you for letting me know, I missed that detail in the guidelines.

After carefully reading the guidelines, I have struggeled to create a challenge based on my own humble 345 finds which poses any real challenge. However, I have come up with the following:

Having found minumum one cache hidden each year from 2004 onwards which has the recommended for children attribute.

So the challenge would be quite similar to this one (https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7Y36N/37414) which requires minimum 1 cache hidden each year from year 2000 and onwards, but exclude the period from 2000-2004 and add the requirement of the recommended for children attribute


Update: On second thaught I think I will wait with creating a challenge cache until I have more finds so that I can create a real challenge, thanks for your help anyway.

I'm sorry but since the introduction in 2016 of the challenge guidelines this type of challenge is no longer allowed.

Please read https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#timeLimited

Not acceptable

Thank you very much. The checker seems to work with the years, but does not seem to include the requirement that the qualifying caches have to have the "recommended for children" attribute.

However, there is no need for further update as I have decided to wait to post the challenge cache until I have more finds so that I can create a more exciting challenge. Thanks for your help!
