The Eddington Number is a way of measuring your caching found progress . It is the largest number of found caches on the same number of days. The days do not need to be consecutive. If you find five caches a day for five days, you will have an Eddington Number of five.

I would like to request a checker that calculates if you meet a Eddington number.
For example: complete 1-5; 1-10 etc. Each upgoing challenge would get a higher difficulty rating.

Using Excel and a lot of pivot, I calculated that we (AMTS) meet the Eddington number of 21, missing 2 for the 22.

I have created GCAM6HF: Eddington Number #5 challenge, as a start for the series up to #20.

Would like to know if a checker for this challenge series (4) is possible.

Thanks in advance.
regards, Alex (AMTS)

I'm sorry but your challenge criteria is not allowed. Finding multicle caches is against the "Hiding guidelines - 2.12. Challenge caches"

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

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.

Requiring more than one find on any day or calendar date, even if cumulative.
