[Resolved] GC8JQRH Total elevation challenge - 1 mile
January 29, 2020 09:51PM
Good afternoon.

Brief
I'm trying to find a challenge checker that will combine elevations of all finds and see if they surpass 1 mile (1609 meters). This is a super easy level challenge to help newbies get into challenges. We plan to do more in this series. Please keep this in Meters if possible.

Data source
On project-gc.com/Statistics/ProfileStats I can't find total elevation or raw elevation data, but can find the elevation chart with 21 ranges. If this is what you have to use, I'm guessing using the lower bound on each range would be easiest. That would mean the lowest two ranges shouldn't be included because they'd add 0 or negative elevation. (People shouldn't be penalized for finding below sea level caches.)
If you have access to the raw, true elevation data instead of just the chart ranges, feel free to use imperial units.

Thank you for your time and help.

The checker is using the elevation data for each cache. (Listing elavation)
Heights below sealevel are deducted from the total
Locationless (Reverse) Cache are excluded ffrom the checker

I tested this with people that pass and fail and it worked brilliantly. Thank you for finding the Listing elevation for an even more accurate checker. Great work, mate, and super fast too!

You could also exclude below sea level caches by adding

                "func": [
                    [
                        "select_max",
                        [],
                        [
                            [
                                "let",
                                0
                            ]
                        ]
                    ]
                ]

to calc

That first checker was fantastic! May I please have a similar checker made for 3861M - the highest peak in Idaho (Mount Borah).
The GC code is GC8KRDE

Thank you for your help.
On a separate note, I have a handful more in this series, following a logarithmic style increase. Would you prefer these requests made one by one or all at once?

Best regards,
CheekyBrit

Vogelbird, that worked like a charm! I tested the checker for failure and success and it was appropriate on all accounts. No false positives or false negatives.
I'll get the rest of the set to you shortly. THANKS!

Ok I've got the rest of the challenges in this series. We worked with our local volunteer and learned that our set of 8 iterations was too intense and we need to drop it down to only 3 iterations - Bronze, silver and gold.

Total Elevation Challenge - Bronze - Mount Everest - 8.840 Kilometers GC8KRWZ - by QueenCactus
Total Elevation Challenge - Silver - Stratosphere - 50 Kilometers GC8MNMY - by CheekyBrit
Total Elevation Challenge - Gold - I.S.S - 400 Kilometers GC8MNMY - by CheekyBrit

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you with the list of challenge checkers we need.
Thank you for your help!

First two:

Third one has same GC code, so please confirm which GC code is which?

This is what I get for trying to rush this during a break at work. Sorry.
The third one,"Total Elevation Challenge - Gold - I.S.S." is GC8MNN5.

I'm glad you spotted that!
Thank you again.
