[Resolved] GC56X00: 17x3 - Die 17-Bundesländer-Challenge
June 16, 2016 08:19PM
Dear friends,

I need a challenge checker for the following idea:

3 (physical) finds in each of all 16 federal states "Bundesländer" of Germany:

Baden-Württemberg
Bayern
Berlin
Brandenburg
Bremen
Hamburg
Hessen
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Niedersachsen
Nordrhein-Westfalen
Rheinland-Pfalz
Saarland
Sachsen
Sachsen-Anhalt
Schleswig-Holstein
Thüringen

and additionally:

3 (physical) finds at Mallorca island.

Physical caches are the following types:

Traditional Geocache
Multi-cache
Letterbox Hybrid
Mystery Cache
Wherigo Cache

I do not know if this is possible, because Mallorca is not separately mentioned on the geocaching website. It is a part of "Islas Baleares, Spain" there, but founds at other Balearic islands (Menorca, Ibiza) should not count as fulfilled requirement. Reason: Mallorca is called "17. Bundesland" because of its popularity during summer holidays.

Thanks for your comments!

Hi Bergfex2000,

here is the checker: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC56X00/21517

For Mallorca I used a area with latitude 39.0 - 40.0 and longitude 2.1333333 - 3.583333.

Look like you are right there isn't a way to identify caches on Mallorca from the standard database fields, however it should be possible to identify it easily by specify a bounding box with the NW and SE long/lat coordinates - conveniently the islands are spread out enough that a more complex shape isn't needed.

If you provide the GC code then I can add an appropriate tag.

Look to my reply. I already create a checker.

Good thing I was blind then and didn't notice the GC code was in the topic title :)

Thanks king-ton for your work!! :)-D

But I have a last problem now: Only 2 own founds within region Hamburg, so I didn't fulfill my own challenge!! X( (:P)
