[Resolved] GC7DEX5 - Southeast corner challenge

Hi challenge checker creators,

I would like you to create a challenge checker for me, please.

To meet this challenge, cachers need to find at least 25 caches, of at least 3 types (e.g. traditional, multi and puzzle), in the southeast corner of the DT grid.

What do I mean by SE corner of the DT grid? The DT stars (both difficulty and terrain) for a cache have to add to at least 8. So a 4.0/4.0 cache is fine (because 4 + 4 =8), but a 5.0/2.5 is not fine, as the D + T = 7.5.

Therefore there are 15 cells in the southeast corner of the DT grid: 5.0/3.0, 4.5/3.5, 4.0/4.0, 3.5/4.5, 3.0/5.0, 5.0/3.5, 4.5/4.0, 4.0/4.5, 3.5/5.0, 5.0/4.0, 4.5/4.5, 4.0/5.0, 5.0/4.5, 4.5/5.0, and 5.0/5.0.

Caches must be active when found.
Cachers cannot use their own caches for this challenge.
Caches from anywhere in the world are acceptable.

Cachers do not need to have every cell in the SE corner filled to complete this challenge. So one cacher might qualify with 25 4/4 caches (and every other square in the SE corner is empty) whereas another cacher, who loves high-terrain adventures, might have eight 3.0/5.0s, six 3.5/5.0s, four 4.0/5.0s, two 4.5/5.0s and five 5.0/5.0s.

Love your work, by the way.

Regards,
Max (ZQX)

Here you go: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7DEX5/29240

Please confirm it is suitable.

Note that the "Caches must be active when found" restriction cannot be checked by the checker and may not be allowed by the reviewer.

That was speedy, sumbloke! Thanks heaps.
That checker seems to work fine. I've tested it against lots of cachers in my area, and a lot of them have fulfilled the challenge. I will remove the bit about "caches must be active when found" so that the reviewer will be happy.
FYI, I hope to produce versions 2, 3 and 4 of this, once I have deployed the caches. But I want to see what the reviewer says about this one first.

sumbloke, can you increase the output of the result to a higher figure ("maxInGroup":10000,) so some caches see their true value

Sure. I didn't think there would be too many who would exceed 1000 for this particular criteria, but I'll add it anyway.
