[Cancelled] Update of challenge checker for GC42FWW, periodic table

[Cancelled] Update of challenge checker for GC42FWW, periodic table
June 24, 2019 09:08AM
Hi,

The challenge checker for this cache already exists, but uses outdated criteria. It checks the GC-codes of all found caches to look for the elements of the periodic table. However, the temporary old naming for the very heavy elements. IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) has accepted and is promoting names now. I know, that this type of challenge is grandfathered, but I think that it would be a good idea to be based on the proper scientific content. I have also looked into the challenge checker script and it would be minimal effort to update it by replacing the outdated element names by the new ones in line 20.

Here is the challenge checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC42FWW/984

And here is the link to IUPAC's periodic table:
https://iupac.org/what-we-do/periodic-table-of-elements/

No, I don't fulfill the requirement for the old criteria, neither would I for the new ones.

I would do it myself, if I were allowed to. So I am kindly asking, whether someone would do this for me.

Best regards
Kadhira

The cache owner is the right way to address this issue as they decide the requirements.
