10 x 12 Challenge - The Point GC3CX36
Another cacher created checkers for my 10x12 challenges and years later I am looking at them and need a couple of corrections.
This is for https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3CX36/35026 and once this one is right I will ask to apply it to the rest of my series, all pre-moratorium.
There are 10 different requirements and for 8 of the 10 the checker appears to be good.
SIZES reports 0 no matter what. Here is the requirement: "Container Types (i.e. sizes, other, virtual) Found: 1 point per type (there are 7 types) plus 1 point for the second on up to 5 types after all 7 types have been found (to make max 12)." I will update the first part for clarity to "Container Types (large, regular, small, micro, other, virtual, not chosen)". The scoring would be, for 12 points, someone first needs to find all seven types for 7 points then get another point each for the second find on 5 types. Can this be done? It seems tricky.
Numbers in cache names, the intent was to use an entire number, so that 12 for instance was twelve, not 1 or 2. 399835 would be that number, not the set of digits. Is that possible? Here is what the challenge says: "Numbers: Caches that contain (does not have to be at the beginning of the cache name) a different written or numeric number; max 12. Count the number in its entirety and only one number per cache." Is this possible? If not, the current report is fine and I will edit the description to give folks the option to add points for bigger numbers.
I would also like a link to post on the cache page, if those are available for grandfathered challenges.
Thanks for all you do for challenge cachers

hi
I've fixed the bug in the count of different sizes.
However I don't know if I understand it well.
Now I count it as 1 point for any different size. If you collect 7 points, I add 1 point for every different size where you have found more than 1 cache. For max 12 points. Its' ok?

I have also modified the number section.
Now I count any different group of digits, the digits can be between any characters. So i.e. abc123def counts as number 123. But attention - I DO NOT CHECK FOR WRITTEN NUMBERS as there are many different words. So, I check only for group of digits 0-9. However, it's very easy to have found 12 different numbers written with digits, so it's very difficult that someone will lost some point because they have found less than 12 different numbers.

These are the links to all checkers:

Thank you so much! The sizes types works perfectly. I put a note on the numbers that they can add written-out numbers if they need them. Only beginning cachers might need those points, and they could easily glance through their finds.
I haven't gone through every single challenge yet but will check everything out in the next couple of days.

I am still working on copying the links into my descriptions. It is taking longer than I hoped. Thanks for keeping this thread open.
