[Resolved] GC84ZXK Mystery

.... a new try.

I hope, that I read the guidelines correctly...

I need a checker for this:
M 13 Mystery finds in a fylke in Norway
Y 25 Mystery finds in a fylke in Norway
S 19 Mystery finds in a fylke in Norway
T 20 Mystery finds in a fylke in Norway
E 5 Mystery finds in a foreign country
R 18 Mystery finds in a foreign country
Y 25 Mystery finds in a foreign country

The fylke and the foreign countries must be different

And: a 7 day streak with Mystery caches (1 find per day)

Hopefully that works.

Thanks,
Angela

The 7 day streak of Mysteries is not allowed.

Quote

Not acceptable: Specifying any element of a cache page (type, rating, etc.) or find count (above one per day) required during a streak.

For the other requirements I don't know whether there is an existing script, but it'd be easy to create one.

OK, but any cache type is allowed?

For a streak up to 365 days, yes.

Perfect.... I think a 7 day streak is enough.

Thanks

I can create a new script for this, but probably only later this week.
But if anyone else wants to write the script or gets an existing checker to work with this (maybe ari's multi-checker?), feel free to do so.

I was just about to start writing the script when I realized this can be done with an existing script. We had a similar request just a few days ago.

It slightly rephrases the requirements like this:

M 13 Mystery finds in 4 fylker in Norway
Y 25 Mystery finds in a fylke in Norway
S 19 Mystery finds in 3 fylker in Norway
T 20 Mystery finds in 2 fylker in Norway

but allows using the same fylke multiple times. But essentially this is checking for the exact same challenge as you stated: For Y it is the same. For T you can use the one fylke you used for Y plus another fylke with 20 finds. For S you can use the two fylker you used for T plus a new fylke etc. For the countries it's the same.

Here's the checker:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC84ZXK/47287

Let us know if it's suitable.

PS: It seems you do not qualify yet, as you only have two fylker with 19 finds (Østfold, Oppland), which would already have been used for the T and Y.

Hello PattuX,
thanks for the checker... and I see what you mean.

Can you change the criteria: Find 10 Mysteries in 7 different counties in Norway and 10 Mysteries in a foreign county.

I should qualify for that challenge.

Thanks a lot,
Angela

I updated the checker. Link is still the same.

But it seems you still do not qualify, as you only have 6 different qualifying regions.

Just to be clear, by "county" I assume you still mean "fylke"? It's a little confusing since the oifficial translation of fylke is county while PGC uses county as a general term for the second level of administration (i.e. one level lower).

Also determining foreign country is not directly feasible since we do not have access to the user's home coordinates. I interpreted this simply as "country other than Norway". But if foreign people fulfill this challenge they have 10 in a foreign country - namely Norway - anyway, and still qualify via the checker since they very likely have 10 Mystery finds in their home country.

Hi PattuX,
thanks for the quick response.
I don't mean fylke... I mean kommuner. And the suggestion of foreign country is correct... not Norway.

So my home is in Germany and I should qualify with finds in the different kommuner. And 10 caches in a country other than Norway.

Please change the fylke to kommuner. Thanks.

Ok, then I misunderstood. Changed it to kommuner and now you do qualify.

Hi PattuX,

thanks a lot. The checker works perfect.

Kind regards,
Angela
