Re: Request for GC8NXTZ (3x3x3x3 Challenge HB)

Hello again,
I tried yesterday to get a 3x3x3x3 checker implemented, but failed, because I had the wrong criteria. I managend to get a 4x4x4 checker done, thanks for that, and as I said in my first request, I'd like to do one in my new homezone as well. And I finally managed to get 3x3x3x3 criteria, that fit a) my own caching history and b) the groundspeak criteria for challenges.
Here they are from my listing:

Quote
My listing
This is a Challenge-Cache, to log this cache, you have to fulfill all 3x3x3x3-requirements.
The requirements are:

1. 3 continents with at least one found cache
2. 3x3 (9) countries with at least one found cache
3. 3x3x3 (27) events attended, regardless what type of event (Giga-, Mega-, CITO or normal)
4. 3x3x3x3 (81) Souvenirs received by Groundspeak

I have met those requirements at the time of creating this cache, the results of the checker are listed down below.

I have 3 continents, 11 countries, attended 27 events and have 91 souvenirs.

Here is the link https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8NXTZ/59479

Please test and reply

Works fine, at least I got a positive feedback, but the output is a wee bit strange. I'd like something short along the lines of my 4x4x4-checker.
Probably something fishy with the syntax, but I don't have the faintest clue.

This output of this one here is:

The other one gives this output:

"1. 4 different container sizes with at least 4x4x4 (64) finds each" Qualifying 4 / 4, PASSED

"3. 4x4x4 (64) D/T-combinations found." Qualifying 79 / 64, PASSED

In plaats van:

"3. 4x4x4 (64) D/T-combinations found." Qualifying 79 / 64, PASSED

zou het zo als deze hier zijn:

"4. 3x3x3x3 (81) Souvenirs received by Groundspeak" Qualifying 91 / 81, PASSED
All tests, Qualifying 4 / 4, PASSED

Is dat wel mogelijk?

I agree with you that the output is messy but this is the only multiple test checker where I can show the continents

So be it, at least the first line is useful ;)
Let's see, what the reviewers will say to it.

The reviewer didn't like the continents, so I have to change something. I don't know why, as Groundspeak itself makes this distinctions in the statistics, in the Maps tab.
I've rewritten the first criterium according to that to:

1. 3 continents with at least one found cache as shown in the maps in statistics

I hope that'll do it, otherwise I'll have to change it completely to something like

1. 3 different container sizes with at least 3x3x3x3 (81) finds each

I hope, I don't cause too much trouble here.

Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 03/22/2021 10:28PM by Saenger. (view changes)

The first criteria is the problem because the API only gives countries. We have to use that criteria to build a continent and even then there are problems.
For example
Greenland in PGC it is Europe and for Groundspeak it is North America
Spain is in both continents Europe and Africa
Cypress is another problem

It goes even that far that in some countries the reviewers do not allow the continent checker which is based on a stand alone script taken the various views in consideration

I just added this list to the cache-listing:

It was fine, the cache will be in the wild tomorrow 10:00 CET .
Thanks again, I'll soon come around for a 1x1x1x1, and I'll give you a month or two for your work here.
