Re: checker Reqeuest - GC5MNTD

Hey folks,

it would be nice if you could implement a checker for the Cache GC5MNTD

The challange is more or less a modification of the well known "Cache your name/your first found" challange

Out of the first letter of the cache name of found traditionals one has to
* build the cache name of the first traditional one has found
* the nick-name of the cache owner (the real one not the one displayed in the listing!)
* the found date (without any date seperator chars and leading zeros, only the plain digits. year only to digits long)

Thank you for your efforts

The conditions of this challenge are very special and specific and so it is going to require a new script to be written to support it. New challenges like this are now prohibited so it would require writing a one-off script. You may get lucky if one of the script writers finds this challenge interesting (e.g. they live near it or are bored) but I am afraid there is a chance no one will pick up the writing of the script.

I can understand this. Is it possible that I try to code this checker?

Boredom rules. This sounded like a small modification to one of my scripts, so figured I'll give it a try. Please explain the date specification? I compute the following for your handle:

word=SCHWEINEREIMIGRO18620120803

Hi Pieterix,

great! Thank you!
You nearly hit the nail.
the word should look like this:
word=SCHWEINEREIMIGRO1861283
Modifications have been:
Year only two Digits( 12 instead of 2012)
one can skip the leading Zeros in the month and the day (8 instead of 08, 3 instead of 03)
a suitable format string in C# or vb.net would be "yyMd"

A year and a half later, here is a checker for you to try:

Please let me know if you have any feedback/suggestions.

Works like a charm.
Thank you!
