[Resolved] GC9B8AK Find on a specific date any year
May 15, 2021 07:32AM
G'day!
I'd like a script to check for the number of finds on one specific date of the year, which year is irrelevant.
Ideally I would love to have the output display how many per year on that specific date since 2000.

Challenge qualification: Have at least n finds on Month/Date, where n is the number of Month/Dates that have passed.
Challenge context: Finding caches found on the birthday of Mingo (May 11), totaling at least the number of birthdays that it's had.
Example: To qualify in July of 2022, one must have found 22 geocaches placed on May 11 of any year.

Output: Display which years and how many the user has found to qualify. I'm aiming to list a bonus 'leaderboard' of people who've found a cache on May 11 of the most years - aiming towards seeing if anyone can find a cache placed on every available May 11 since 2000 (including Mingo). This bonus of course isn't required to qualify, but would be great to have in the output for interest and information's sake.

Sample output (based on my own current stats using sql in gsak):
thebruce0 qualifies having found 26 geocaches placed on May 11 of any year.
12 Years found: 2000 (1), 2008 (3), 2009 (1), 2011 (5), 2012 (1), 2013 (2), 2014 (2), 2015 (4), 2016 (3), 2017 (1), 2018 (1), 2019 (1)

Here is a checker:

I have just extended a current script I have, so the output isn't quite as you requested - if this is a problem, then i can extend it further, but it does still list all the years.

Thanks, I think that's fine - the amount per year is still attainable. Awesome :)

Regarding this script, I have an approved challenge now with a slight alteration:

1. Have 21 finds on May 11 of any year
2. Including at least 10 different years

Currently I believe the checker above only lists the number of May 11 finds, requiring 22. That should now be 21, and with at least 10 years included.

Can this adjustment be made soon? Thanks

Please say if this is good for you.

Ah yes that is perfect! Can you make the first list sort like the second list though? That will work very nicely.

It is now sorted, is this better?
