Re: Re:

Hi there, I have had a look but unable to find anything similar or the same.

I need a new checker for the above challenge.

Here is what I need:

Find 10,000 Favourites over a maximum of 100 caches. You must find at least 10 in a different LGA or Country (The 10 can be 10 different LGA's/Countries)

I have this cleared by the local reviewers. (:P)

Thanks in advance :)-D

I'm not sure whether I understand the second condition correctly. Are you saying that at least 10 out of the 100 caches contributing to the 10k FPs must come from a LGA different than the LGA the cache is located in? Would that be Victoria (AU) for this one?

Ok, no not specifically, can be done in any state/country. Can also be done in fewer caches as long as they can reach 10000 where if required 10 are in a different state or Country.

Sorry I hope that makes sense.

EDIT: What was discussed with reviewer was different state or different Country, I have removed the LGA reference.

Most people that use all 100 will have 90 in their home state and the final 10 somewhere else.

Here's your checker:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7Q8FX/45009

Let us know if it's suitable.

I started before your last edit, so now it includes the state restriction. Each region (i.e. state/territory or similar) can only contribute a maximum of 90 caches to the list.

In case you don't have a user to which the region limit would apply I made a temporary second checker where each region may only contribute 10 caches at most for you to confirm the state restriction is working as intended:

I'll delete it afterwards.

Awesome work, thanks for that.

Is there any way to make the output display only what is required to qualify?

I.E. I qualify with 3 caches, so only display those 3? If its too complicated, dont worry.

Also, one of the words at the bottom of the output is misspelled "wrt"

My Example:
You have found a total of 53434 favorite points with the following caches:
4821

Looks like a character limit has applied:

You have found a total of 53434 favorite points with the following caches:
4821 GCK25B Geocaching Headquarters
3863 GCGV0P Original Stash Tribute Plaque
2963 GC2AD97 HQGT: Chairy Tree

These contain the following caches wrt the restrictions:
3 caches with region Northern Territory (Australia)
6 caches with region Oregon (United States)
2 caches with region South Australia (Australia)
1 caches with region Queensland (Australia)
15 caches with region London (United Kingdom)
5 caches with region Southern Scotland (United Kingdom)
18 caches with region Victoria (Australia)
1 caches with region South East Community Development Council (Singapore)
3 caches with region South Island (New Zealand)
2 caches with region Northern Scotland (United Kingdom)
10 caches with region Western Australia (Australia)
2 caches with region North West England (United Kingdom)
26 caches with region Washington (United States)
6 caches with region New South Wales (Australia)

Done, but also the list now only considers the caches that are required for the 10k FPs. I can also make that show the whole list if you want.

"wrt" = with respect to (but English isn't my mother tongue so might be erroneous)

The change has led me to some thoughts. If someone has all their finds in one region, but can do 10k FPs with only 50 of their finds or so, do they qualify? What if they have one find in region A and 10 in region B? Technically they have some of their finds in one region (A) and 10 finds in another region (B), but it'd be more natural to call A the "different" region since it's the secondary region.

Hi there, my thoughts for this challenge were to allow cachers to qualify in as fewer caches as possible, so if they do qualify in say 50 caches all in 1 zone that would be ok, its only if they cant qualify in 90 that they need to have 10 in another state.

Sorry about this but I just re-read the reviewer note and it looks like I can get it published with max 100 caches in ANY state or Country.

From Reviewer:
The challenge aspect: "As an extra difficulty star, you must also have found 10 of these caches in a different state or Country." is not need from the Challenge cache requirements perspective, but you can keep it if you want to make it a tad more difficult.

So that being said, happy to change this to a more basic "Find 10000 Favourite points in a maximum of 100 caches" and leave it at that if it reduces complications

Np, here's your new one:

Let us know if it's suitable.

Perfection, thanks for all your efforts on this one.
