Re: Checker for top 5 of each cache type by fav - hidden in 1 year

1) Restrict by area (the 15 Northern VA counties)

2) Restrict by year published (hidden in 2016)

3) Pick the 5 caches of each type with the most favorite points count
top 5 favorited traditionals - published in 2016
top 5 favorited unknowns - published in 2016
top 5 favorited earthcaches - published in 2016
top 5 favorited multi-caches - published in 2016
top 5 favorited wherigos - published in 2016
top 5 favorited letterboxes - published in 2016

Pass check criteria - x% of the 30 caches selected in #3 above

EDIT - Percentage is not allowed in current challenge cache guidelines - would have to be a specific count

Thanks,

I believe there is no script yet which can handle this multiple types request.
I am marking this request as a "new script required" so a script writer can pick this up

What are the 15 NOVA counties?

Do you have an idea of x?

Northern Counties of Virginia

My question what which counties are the 15 northern virgina counties.

Could a list of 15 counties be provided?

"county": [ "Winchester city (VA)", "Clarke County (VA)", "Loudoun County (VA)", "Fairfax city (VA)", "Falls Church city (VA)", "Arlington County (VA)", "Alexandria city (VA)", "Fairfax County (VA)", "Manassas Park city (VA)", "Manassas city (VA)", "Prince William County (VA)", "Stafford County (VA)", "Fauquier County (VA)", "Warren County (VA)", "Frederick County (VA)" ],

Would this be simpler / easier / possible:

1) Restrict by area (the 15 Northern VA counties)

2) Restrict by year published (hidden in 2016)

3) Pick the caches with a minimum count (like 5) favorite points

Pass check criteria - certain number of the caches selected in #3 above

Thanks,

EDIT - I realize this is a new request - so I will put it in a new topic.

For starters is 10 of the top 30 appropriate?

Hi, I'm working with vpdj on this challenge.

Instead of the original "top 30" idea, we actually prefer making a list of all caches at or above a certain number of favorite points. And from that list (in a county on the list, published in a certain year, above a certain # of FP), a minimum number of finds that the user has that is on that list. For our purposes, 25 would be appropriate.

Can we archive this question??

Yes - alternative method developed
