Re: Checker Request GC9F8TR 7 Year Anniversary

Hello,

I'd like to know if it's possible to make a checker for my idea. There are a list of 17 items, but the player would need to complete only seven of any of the items to qualify:

1. At least one find on July 7th
2. At least one find on each day of July
3. At least one find on the seventh day of each month
4. At least one find on a cache that was hidden on the seventh day of each month
5. At least seven cache types found in each of seven countries
6. At least seven finds on caches placed in 2007
7. At least seven finds on caches placed in 2017
8. At least seven finds on caches that are 7,000 or more days old
9. At least seven bingos from the D/T matrix
10. At least seven finds on caches placed 700 meters or more above sea level
11. At least seven finds on caches placed -7 meters or more below sea level
12. At least seven finds on caches that have seven or more attributes
13. At least 700 finds in any calendar year
14. At least seven finds each of seven different cache types
15. At least 700 finds in any calendar month (accumulative)
16. At least seven finds on caches that have 70 or more favorite points
17. At least 70 finds on caches that have seven or more favorite points

Please let me know if this is even feasible and what I can do to make it so. I appreciate any help/advice. Thanks.

Not allowed are
13. At least 700 finds in any calendar year
Please read 2.12.9. Time-Limited
Not acceptable

Quote
Time-limited caching: as in some number of finds per day, week, month, or year.

17. At least 70 finds on caches that have seven or more favorite points
Please read 2.12.10. Source of Criteria

Quote
Challenge cache criteria must be based upon the type of log, not on the log content.

Also
12. At least seven finds on caches that have seven or more attributes
This item does not fit the multitest script which means that a scriptwriter has to write a special script which might take time

Thanks so much for your help. Here is an updated list that I hope meets all of the rules (changes are in bold):

Complete any seven of the requirements below to satisfy this challenge...

1. At least one find on July 7th
2. At least one find on each day of July
3. At least one find on the seventh day of each month
4. At least one find on a cache that was hidden on the seventh day of any month
5. At least one find in each of seven countries
6. At least seven finds on caches placed in 2007
7. At least seven finds on caches placed in 2017
8. At least seven finds on caches that are 777 or more days old
9. At least seven bingos from the D/T matrix
10. At least seven finds on caches placed 777 meters or more above sea level
11. At least seven finds on caches placed -7 meters or more below sea level
12. At least 777 total finds
13. At least seven finds each of seven different cache types
14. At least 777 finds in any calendar month (accumulative)
15. At least one find on any cache that has 77 or more Favorite Points
16. Cache finds with an accumulated total of 777 or more Favorite Points

I'm pretty sure #16 is OK because I have another challenge cache that requires a total of 400 FPs to be found (GC6P30G), but not sure about #15.

I don't want this to be too complicated to write a script for so please suggest any needed changes. Much appreciated.

Here you go: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9F8TR/64656

Sorry, it took a little while to get a chance to enhance my script to handle a few of the conditions.

Please note that you will need to meet all sub-challenges to get your challenge published, and you currently only meet 11 of them (unless I mis-interpreted some).

Wow, thanks so much for doing this!

Only 7 of the 16 items are required to meet the challenge so I should be good.

The direction from HQ, which we've heard through reviewers, is that even if only some sub-challenges are required to meet the challenge, the CO is required to meet all before the challenge can be published. I'm just trying to warn you that your reviewer is likely to reject this challenge (at this time).

This thread has not received any further feedback and will therefor be moved to ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible). Should the requester have any queries he can raise his question on this thread in the archived section,
