[Resolved] challenge checker for finding micros on hidden and found dates
May 11, 2026 04:57PM
Hello
I'm looking for a challenge checker for GCBMCCW. It's a challenge cache where the finders need to find a micro on each of 365 days of any year, and they need to find a micro hidden on each of 365 days of any year. I qualify for this cache. Thanks, quiltinannie

It works, but I don't know how to now put this checker on my challenge cache description. Is there a place that would show me how to do that???

Hello again
There seems to be a problem with this checker for some people.
The checker says that they qualify and meet the requirements, yet on one of the calendars they have a big red square, indicating they haven’t found a cache placed on that day.

Please tell us the account names for which you think the checker doesn't work correctly.

The checker is configured to require 365 days.
Do these accounts maybe have found February 29 and are missing a single other day? That still makes 365 days.

Morris-thecat has the red square on the traditional hidden, and it says she has met those qualifications.
goldfinch99 has the same problem.

So, you are saying that because they have found leap day, it qualifies them, even if they haven’t found another hidden day?

The script is just behaving unexpectedly here. Even though I configured leapday=false, the script is still counting leapday towards the 365 required days if you found a cache on that day.

I modified the checker to "366 days required, but not leapday". The output is a bit confusing, because it now says something like "365 dates of 366 completed."
But if you are missing a find on leapday and have all 365 other days, the check should still pass.
