Re: Improving checker for GC8KGP2?

Hello!

After break of Covid-19 challenge GC8KGP2 is almost ready for publishing. Before publishing I only needed 10 user who had fullfilled this challenge. So there were quite many users who tested checker. Two users started to wonder if checker is working right or is there some bug.

It's seems that for example user 'Vestaali' fullfills the challenge although checker says 'NO'.

Why does it give different kind of listing if you don't fullfill challenge? Is there any way to improve checker so, thet it'll tell you what you are missing if you don't fullfill challenge yet?

Has this been fixed ??

Has this been fixed ??

Yes, NOW it's fixed
This checker was a kind of nightmare for me. There is a complex function tor simplify the space of combinations to allow the search to finish in couple of seconds instead of several hours, And there was a problem. In the case in which the cacher has too many founds and this preliminary function has found the solution itself, the program returns false instead of the solution because the main function has nothing to search.

So, now the checker is working. Sorry for the very long time to fix the problem.

best regards and happy new year
