[Resolved] Need helper for create a checker - Found-Jasmer-Statistik
April 15, 2022 05:29PM
Hello

I created a challenge Cache and I wish to add a Challenge Checker. But I need help for the creation. Could anyone translate my Challenge Requirements into a Challenge Checker? It would be nice and I will be happy if anyone can do this.

This is the first time I create a challenge cache and call for help. If you have access to Non-published caches you can found the description here: https://coord.info/GC9RB5F

Otherwise here - or mail me for a PDF or more information:
Standing still is going backwards - A quote from Rudolf von Bennigsen-Foerder. This also applies to geocaching; at least for statistics hunters. There is this challenge for that:

Challenge:

Do you know your Jasmer statistic? This refers to the hiding date. For this challenge, check your Found-Jasmer statistic. Are there months in which you found more caches than a year ago? Do you also have series - so months in a row without a break? In order to pass this challenge you need series in which you have found more caches in the calendar month as one year before:

1 series with at least 5 months
2 series with at least 4 months
3 series with at least 3 months
4 series with at least 2 months
5 series with at least 1 month

Conditions:
- A month with no cache found does not count as a comparison month (==> the first cache year does not count)
- A series can only be considered once
- However, a 6-series can count as two 3-series or one 4-series and one 2-series.

If you have fulfilled this, you can search for, hopefully find and log the cache. As with all challenges, the cache may also be searched for and found before fullfilling the challenge. In this case please document your visit with a NOTE. As soon as the challenge is fulfilled, add your FOUND IT to the electronical logbook. You can find my Found-Jasmer-statistic attached. Attach the Checker confirmation of fulfillment to your log.

Remark: To complete this challenge, you must have been actively geocaching for at least 47 months (3 years 11 months). I completed this challenge in 2630 days (7 years 1 month 13 days). Are you faster? It would be nice if you wrote in your log how long you need to complete this challenge.

I'm sorry to bring this bad news but the challenge as I understand it at the moment does not comply with the hiding guidelines.

Please read https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#timeLimited and seek advice from your reviewer.
If you ask by posting a reviewer note on the cache page, remember that you have to submit the cache for review for the reviewer to see your question.

Hello Vogelbird

thanks for your answer. Can you describe which guideline my challenge violates? I wish to think about how I can change the challenge to make it valid.

Thanks for any support

I think both me and vogelbird are having a bit of trouble understanding the challenge. Could you perhaps post your qualifications, so hopefully we can understand? Thanks

A challenge can not demand that people have logged caches over different years because this is timelimited. You say "To complete this challenge, you must have been actively geocaching for at least 47 months (3 years 11 months).", this tells us it is time limited because you can not require people to have cached for a specific amount of time.

How can I attach a JPG to this post?

The words "you must have been actively geocaching for at least 47 months (3 years 11 months)" is only a information, because it is not possible to pass this challenge before this time (1x5 months + 2x4 months + 3x3 + 4x2 + 5x1 + 12 (for the 1st year = 47)

OK, if it is not possible to create such a checker or not allowed to request such a challenge I will think about a different one.

Maybe it is possible to have this challenge for the real Jasmer-Statistik (Hidden date)? Or is it also a unvalid challenge?

Thanks a lot for the discussion and the teaching

You're "found jasmer" demands that people have been caching for at least 47 months with added rules of when they caches, that is not allowed. You can not make a "found jasmer" challenge.

You're other suggestions of a real hidden date jasmer is allowed. Your suggestion of cumulative number of finds in different months is fine as long as they're cumulative so people can work on it at the speed they want to. If they want to log one cache a month every year and finish in 144 years or if they want to log everything in a year, the key is having the option.

hello again

maybe this challenge is valid? (s. 9. Time-limited: Finding some number of caches per month, provided the number is cumulative over all years. Example: 100 finds in Januarys.)

is it possible to have founds for every month ("AND")?
1 dozen (12 founds) in JAN
2 dozen in FEB
3 dozen in MAR
4 dozen in APR
5 dozen in MAY
....
12 dozen in DEC

cumulative over all years. For "old-cachers" it should be not a problem. For "rookies" it could be possilble in the first year.

Thanks a lot for the discussion and the support

Hello vogelbird

thanks a lot for the Checker for the alternative Challenge ("dozen"). Its look fine. I will update my Cache description and, of course, the challenge.

Thanks to all for the support.

Now, we can close the Request.

Hello again

sorry for my next question.
The link to the test-checker (from vogelbird) works, but how get I a link (or anything) for the real checker, which one I could list into the Cache prescription?

I mean: a link similiar in the cache (e.g.): https://coord.info/GC4ZW3H

The link vom LaDeBA doesn't work.

Thanks a lot

The link I posted in the correct link and to place this on the listing us the folloing procedue
1. Open the link as provided
2. Click on in the "link" button on the right
3. Copy the code for the third option and paste it into your cache description
(You might need to first click on the green button above the description to put it in the right mode.)
4. Save & preview and submit for publication once you're happy with it.

If you don't see the usual challenge check icon you might need to click the Source button above the cache description box before you paste the code.

Hello vogelbird

thanks a lot for the hint how to put the Checker in the Cache description. It works fine and looks as it should.

Thanks also for your patience. It was my first challenge.
