[Resolved] Need geochecker - one cache with hidden coordinates
May 29, 2018 10:43PM
Hi,

This one may be easy or tricky, I just don't know.

The challenge requires that one has logged at least one cache that is not at the posted coordinates.

This can be a mystery, a multi, a letterbox hybrid or a wherigo, and possibly some I have forgotten? However, challenges does not have hidden coordinates, so having logged a challenge should not fulfill the requirement.

This may be a problem. The best solution would be if the checker can verify directly weather the logged caches have hidden coordinates or not. (If a cache is at the posted coordinates, but you have to find out that it is there, it qualifies.)

If this is not possible, and hence difficult to distiguish ordinary mysterys from challenges, I can go for a second best option that any mystery, wherigo, multi and letterbox hybrid is accepted.

This is not a very demanding challenge. I plan a series of very simple challenges aimed at beginners, to help them discover more of the game and the fun with all the statistics in geocaching.

This challenge has been evaluated by a reviewer. GC7Q9NE

Had to go for the second option, since the checker system doesn't know whether the final coordinates are the same as the listed coordinates or not:

Please test and let us know.

Thank you very much!
I will go for this solution, but I will just ask for a possible adjustment: Can the checker count how many Challenges one have taken? Would it be possible to count the number of mysterys and just subtract those who are registred as challenges? I notice that project-GC now counts challenges, so could that be possible?
Hence: If the number of mysterys logged is larger that the number of challenges, then the requirement is fulfilled.

May be that not all challenges are registred as such on project-CG, I guess you better than me there. But that is not so important. But I would find it better if you cannot get the challenge completed just by taking one of the easy challenges in this series.

Best regard
Martin
