Re: GC8HBGD checker required - 20 finds with 101 FP in Ontario

The challenge is to find at least 20 caches with at least 101 favourite points each, with each qualifier located in a different county/region of the province of Ontario, Canada.

Thank you.

Here is the link to the checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8HBGD/47623

Please test and reply

It looks like the checker covers off two of the requirements (20 caches; 101 favourite points), but is not differentiating between counties/regions. (I noticed that three of the listed qualifiers are located at Niagara Falls.)

I appreciate your efforts on this!

Can you tell me the caches involved because PGC is counting the location on the polygon (map) which divers from geocaching.com who let the CO determine the location

Certainly!

These caches are located within about .5 km of each other in Niagara County:

gccode FP Visitdate Name
GCMH1C 1012 2013-10-20 Table Rock Earthcache
GCABA1 860 2012-07-03 Niagara Falls Virtual
GC1VB9B 595 2011-04-29 Foundations: Ghosts of the Clifton
GCN6M2 390 2013-10-20 Niagara Whirlpool Earthcache
GC2CDGF 208 2013-10-20 Gnomes' Hideaway

And these ones are all within the city of Toronto (Toronto County):

gccode FP Visitdate Name
GC6069 674 2009-09-17 The Old City Hall Message
GCA2AA 169 2008-11-10 tt - Toronto Queens Quay
GC6C13 167 2008-10-14 First Post - Toronto
GC8535 161 2010-03-08 Every Cache Moves

The checker isn't returning "County" as a column, so I think that has just been left out of the selection criteria.

Here is a different checker which shows more details

That checker shows all of the required information; all that is left is to restrict the results to only one per region.

It doesn't matter (to me) whether it is the one with the most favourite points that they have found in a particular region, or the first one found in the search that meets the criteria, as long as there is only one result displayed per region, and at least 20 regions.

As mentioned before, I appreciate all of your efforts on this and my other requests today!

I changes the checker to 20 unique counties in Ontario but this time you do not qualify ( the link is the same)

Clearly people are WAY too cheap with their favourite points! :) The good news is that the checker is now working exactly as required.

I checked a few of the local cachers with substantially more finds than me, and it looks like this will be a tough one to qualify for. I will see how the reviewer feels about it, and will use the checker if I get the go-ahead to publish.

Thank you again!

If you submit it to the reviewer you will have to fulfill your own challenge

Fair enough. Can you expand the parameters to be 20 different counties, anywhere in Canada? I have confirmed that this will be enough for me to qualify, and I am sure many other local cachers will as well.

Thank you.

Checker is adjusted and you qualify with 21 counties

Looks good! Thank you.
