[Resolved] GC72TZ1: Checker request for a letterbox challenge

[Resolved] GC72TZ1: Checker request for a letterbox challenge
March 27, 2017 06:30PM
I'd like to request a challenge checker to verify that the user has found 100 letterbox hybrid caches in one day (must be within a 24 hour period during the same day).

I'm sorry but this is time limited caching which is not acceptable under the new guidelines

Please read http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=206#timeLimited

9. Time-Limited - Not Acceptable
Time-limited caching: as in some number of finds per day, week, month, or year. Example, Busy Day, 50 finds in a day, 500 finds in a month, etc. (new 2016)

Thanks for your feedback.

Please modify the challenge requirements as follows:

Find 100 letterbox hybrid caches in the same county.

Thanks!

Here is the link to the checker http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC72TZ1/25614

Please confirm that this is the checker you require

No, that is not the checker I'm looking for as it seems to only look at one county and then stop checking. I'm looking for a checker that verifies that the user has found 100 letterbox hybrid cache types within the same county so the checker will need to loop through all counties in the US. If it is too much work to loop through every county in the US, then I'm okay if the challenge is limited to a county in the state of Nevada. Just let me know what you decide to do.

Thanks.

The checker loops through all the counties in the world till it found a county with 100 letterbox caches found by a cacher

If you fail the checker than the result is the county with the most so the cacher can consentrate on that county.

the problem is also that you have not enough letterbox caches to fullfill this challenge. According to the guidelines you have to fulfill your own challenge

Here is an example of a result
[Alamogul](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Alamogul) has used [Project-GC](http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC72TZ1/25614 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if he/she qualified for this challenge and he/she did.

**Lyon County (NV)** (580)

Nevermind...as it turns out, the challenge checker is correct. The reason I thought it wasn't working is because the checker incorrectly reported that I wasn't eligible for the challenge. I just logged the letterbox caches this morning so I think that your system hasn't refreshed my cache finds yet for today. I double checked another name of a cacher who I know is eligible and the checker is working fine.

Thanks for your work on this checker. (tu)
