[Resolved] GC9XA74Bigger better challenge July 17, 2022 05:14PM |
I tried to design something similar before but it didn't fit within the time restricted rules like this challenge does.
Like the childhood trading game of 'bigger better', you are trying to find a group of at least geocaches that are bigger or better than each other. Date found is not a factor so this is not time limited in any way. We are using difficulty, terrain, type, and size as our categories. To add to your qualifying group a geocache has to increase in at least one of the four categories, but cannot decrease in any of them. You need a group of at least 20, but up to 26 is possible.
For difficulty and terrain, it is easy to grasp, 1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest.
For size we need to exclude the virtual size caches (all events, locationless, lab cache, earth, virtual, and webcam)
not chosen
micro
small
other
regular
large
And for type, in order of getting 'better' and excluding ones without 'size' we have:
traditional cache
multi cache
mystery cache
letterbox cache
wherigo cache
Here is an example of a qualifying group. There are a few places another geocache could be added, such as a Difficulty 1.5 terrain 1.5 size not chosen traditional. I highlighted in green each time one of the categories increases. You'll notice none of the categories get smaller as you go down the chart. The chart is only organized smallest to biggest for visual clarity, these geocaches could have been found in any order.
