[Resolved] Invalid checker result
May 19, 2021 03:24PM
Hello to everybody,

recently vogelbird created a checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC97K5H/59403 for my challenge cache https://coord.info/GC97K5H.
Everything worked without error, but today I received a message from the geocaching user "zmijovkar" https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=zmijovkar, who sent me the following result:

You have found all the top 9 caches
The list is the status as of 2021-05-19 14:45 servertime (CET)
# gccode Visitdate Name
1 GC95E5 2002-09-30 2009-06-20 Tabor - Hylacka
2 GCK79H 2004-08-08 2009-04-01 Veselí – Jan Hus
3 GCKBH1 2004-08-22 2009-07-09 T.G.M.
4 GCN93W 2005-03-28 2009-07-13 Kozi hradek / Kozi castle
5 GCNPNT 2005-04-30 2009-07-03 Jehlan / The Pyramid
6 GCPFG1 2005-06-26 2009-07-30 Hemera
7 GCQ7WR 2005-08-21 2010-07-08 Retezovy most
8 GCQRZ3 2005-09-02 Dune of sand / Pisecna duna
9 GCQYQY 2005-10-13 2009-07-03 Pavilon / Pavilion
10 GCVGM6 2006-04-17 2010-06-20 Borotin

The checker is required to find the 10 oldest caches in the Tábor district. Although the user zmijovkar found only 9 caches, the checker showed that its conditions were met.
Would anyone here on the forum find a solution to fix the error ?

Thanks

Can you check if the finder placed or is the co for a cache that old?

I am also wondering if this has to do with the Repolygoning of project-gc announced here https://project-gc.com/Home/News.

My local database is disagreeing on the list of the oldest caches in Tabor. I need to get that figured out.

Thanks for your response, but I probably don't quite understand your question.

The problem is that the user with nickname "zmijovkar" cache GCQRZ3 "Dune of sand / Pisecna duna" has not logged yet, but the checker still evaluated that he has found it.

Checker calculates that the nickname "zmijovkar" found 10 caches, but he found only 9. It correctly adds that he found 9, but incorrectly evaluates that the challenge condition is not met.

zmijovkar owns GCQYQY and GCKBH1. The logic assumed if you owned it you could not find it.

This but should be fixed.

I discussed this case with zmijovkar.
Perhaps the problem is that in the past, zmijovkar found both caches as a member and first logged "found it" and then after some time adopted both caches. Now he is the owner of both caches.

Can you confirm it works now?

Thanks a lot, now the checker works perfectly also for zmijovkar.

Have a nice day.
