Re: [New script required] checker for GC6X4M6 (not published)

Need a checker for cited cache.
challenge requirements.

In order to register this cache, you have to find 3 of the 7 oldest caches in Europe that are still active. These caches are from the year 2000 and are:

GC43 Europe's First Ireland 3 Jun 2000

GC40 Geocache Belgium 7 Jul 2000

GC4D Match Stash Sweden 11 Aug 2000

GC72 Sun Gear Finland 30 Sep 2000

GC6A Kippers in the Jungle (Denmarks First Cache) Denmark 30 Sep 2000

GCF0 Scotland's First UK 15 Dec 2000

GC103 High Tension in the Bog Denmark 28 Dec 2000

Thanks

The easiest and quickest way is to make a bookmark checker.
You create a bookmark and can maintain this bookmark yourself.

At the moment there is no script for this.

Are you allowed to use a boomarklist? Is that not explicitly against the guidelines.
I think my "Generic old caches in area checker" can do that. That is if the list of European countries are not to long.
I suspect the what is Europe question is not relevant in this case. And the countries that can have the oldest cache with a resonable amounts of archives caches is not to long.

And my standard question of this kind of challenge. What happens if a cache is archiverd? Is it resonable that you go from pass to fail because of an archive. Are not log 3 of the 7 oldest cache active caches in Europe or an older cache a better way to go?

Are we not running in the same problem as in Maryland with the archived caches?
However you have a point that the challenge can not be based on GCcodes although I have seen it been published under the new guidelines (GC6WDWF) in Germany.

The country is not important. The important thing is that they found 3 caches published in 2000 on Europe. Could we solve the problem of the archived, requiering them to be caches of the year 2000?

This what that looks like, but remember archived caches will count.

Hi

Is it possible to modify the checker? It seems that finding 3 is too difficult.

Is it possible to do the same checker but with 1 found?

Thanks

The checker is adjusted to 1 cache

Thanks
