Re: Checker Request: 4 different challenges

Hi there
I am looking for 4 new challenge checkers to be made:

gc71D60 - Challenge: Can you Help me find the 'loo?
Find a minimum of 1000 caches in Wateroo (Ontario, Canada) county.

GC71D66 - Challenge: Cache 'til the Cows Come Home
Find a minimum of 500 caches in Oxford (Ontario, Canada) county

GC71D6C - Challenge: Do you like it in Haldimand County?
Find a minimum of 500 caches in Haldimand (Ontario) County

GC61D6Z - Challenge: Do you Like it in Norfolk County?
Find a minimum of 500 caches in Norfolk (Ontario) County

Thanks in advance

Here are the first two:
http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC71D60/25166
http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC71D66/25167

Project-GC lists a single "Haldimand-Norfolk" county and does not separate them, so the other two would not be possible without Project-GC changing their county polygons. Wikipedia indicates that that merged county existed from 1974 until 2000, so the separate counties should be used now.

Please let me know if the two I've provided are suitable.

The two provided are perfect.

Can we do 1000 in Haldimand-Norfolk? I agree they should be separated...its been 17 years! But let's work with what we've got.
Please let me know if this is possible.

I'll do that when I get back from lunch. Which gccode?

I made an assumption as to which GC code you wanted to use

Thanks so much sumbloke. You guys are super fast!

Sorry sumbloke... just ran the checker for myself and I think there is something majorly wrong with project-gc... it only shows 152 active caches in Haldimand Norfolk... when I ran it Tuesday, it showed over 1600???

If project-gc maybe updating the boundaries?

Yes, ganja1447 uploaded a new polygon set after I asked him to look at the counties. It apparently doesn't have these two counties split. That conversation is here: http://project-gc.com/forum/read?6,6647

Your finds show a lot without a county listed. You can check yourself here: http://project-gc.com/Challenges//22247

I would suspect the system is currently going through the caches in Canada and re-calculating their counties. To speed it up for you, may I suggest you try refreshing your finds? To do this, click "Support" in the top-right of the page, then "Self support" and "Refresh found caches".

Seems to be fixed now. Thanks.
