Re: Checker Request for GCBVBAX

Hello - can I get a challenge checker for GCBVBAX - to find 7 unique US counties that share their name with a US State. Each county name can only be used one time (ex: a find in Washington County, AR and Washington County, NY only counts as 1 find toward your goal).

The following counties qualify:

Arkansas County - AR
Colorado County - TX
Delaware County - IN, IA, NY, OH, OK, PA
Hawaii County - HI
Idaho County - ID
Indiana County - PA
Iowa County - IA, WI
Mississippi County - AR, MO
New York County - NY
Nevada County - AR, CA
Ohio County - IN, KY, WV
Oklahoma County - OK
Oregon County - MO
Texas County - MO, OK
Utah County - UT
Washington County - AL, AR, CO, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MN, MS, MO, NE, NY, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WI
Wyoming County - NY, PA, WV

Thank you.

Challenges based on words or letters. Examples: use the first letter of regions of found caches to spell a word, find caches with attributes that begin with a certain letter, find caches in counties with the same name.

I recommend that you do not mention in your listing that this challenge is about "counties that share their name with a US State".
Instead just say something like: Find a cache in 7 of these groups of counties:
Group 1: Arkansas County - AR
Group 2: Colorado County - TX
Group 3: Delaware County - IN, IA, NY, OH, OK, PA
and so on.
Then it is less obvious what you want to achieve here.

Please first get confirmation from your reviewer that they would allow this. If yes, we can work on a checker for you.

Perhaps the challenge details were not worded correctly, we are not looking for caches named the county name but any cache located within the county. The challenge is the same as this cache published earlier this year. https://coord.info/GCBGN0R. This challenge left off a few counties we want included that's why we didn't clone his checker.

Here is your checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCBVBAX/117706

Please test and and let us know, whether the checker works as you expect.

The checker works but seems to be missing a couple of counties/parishes:

Arkansas County (AR)
Washington County/Parish (LA)

Thank you so much.

"Arkansas County (AR)" added as own group.
"Washington Parish (LA)" added to group "Washington".

There is also a county "Washington (DC)". Do you want this to be added as well?

This is his reply:

No, Washington is the city. Legally DC has no counties, and for the census DC itself is treated as the county equivalent

Thank you for double-checking
