[Awaiting feedback] New Checker Request - GC89T29

Hi
I need a checker for my challenge cache. This is my first one and I am not sure if I do it right :)-D
Can you help me with a checker?
Regards Anja

Happy to help. Please tell us what your challenge is so we can provide you with a checker.

Hi again :-)
The challenge is to have 10% or more of your total amount of finds located <7500 km. from your home location when the challenge is logged. It can be seen on your statistic on geocaching.com but I would like a checker :-)

Regards Anja

I suspect this violates rule 14 of the challenge cache guidelines:

Positive Challenge Criteria: Not Acceptable: Not finding caches: design that limits or punishes any element of finding caches. Examples: Challenges that require ratios in finds; such as 10% of finds must be Attended logs, challenges that require finding only some particular type for over time, as 100 consecutive Mystery finds.

Where do I find the rules?

There's a post in this forum named READ FIRST which should get you started. I've also linked to the rules in my reply.

Hi again
I have made a mistake. The criteria is to have found more than 10% of your finds more than 7500 km's from your home coordinates

I hope this is not violating the rules

The problem is the 10% ratio. You can ask for eg. 10 finds, but not 10%. Also note that distance from home coordinates might not be available to all users, since Project-GC doesn't always have access to it (you have to authorise it).

Can I make it 700 finds more than 7500 km. from home? According the statistic below?

This would require access to a user's home coordinates, which is not possible in challenge checkers, as far as I can tell.

This thread has not received any further response from the requester and will therefor be moved to ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible). Should the requester have any queries he can raise his question on this thread in the archived section,
