[Resolved] 600 Challenge checker needed

For GC7GTG7 - CCT - 600 Challenge - Challenge Cache Trail
To claim this cache you must have found 600 or more caches of types other than "Traditional". To ensure diversity there are some rules.

The rules are as follows:

A minimum of 600 caches is needed to claim the find.

Traditional caches can't be counted.

A maximum of 100 for any cache type is allowed to count towards the final tally. You may have 179 puzzle caches, but you can only count 100 of those towards your 600.

For a cache type to count towards the 600 total, you must have found at minimum 25 caches of that type. So if you have 24 Earthcaches, you can't count any of them towards the total. If you have 26 Earthcaches, they all count towards the total (but remember Rule 3, if you have 101 Earthcaches only 100 count towards the total).

The minimum number of cache types needed to reach the 600 would be 6 (as 6 x 100 = 600).

The maximum number of cache types that could be used would be 24 (as 24 x 25 = 600). Note: Since there are not 24 different Cache Types this is not really possible. Note: Excluded are Traditional, Benchmarks, Lab Caches and Locationless cache types.

All permutations between those two extremes count. For example;

100 Earthcaches, 100 Multicaches, 100 Unknown Caches, 100 Virtual, 100 Wherigo, 100 Events = 600

Please test and let us know.

Very close - but it does not include the condition that in order to be included, the number of finds for a given cache type must be >= 25 finds.

Therefore my 10 webcam finds should not count towards the minimum 600 finds.

Thanks,

Have contacted the script writer and requested a minimum to be added to the script so it can handle that portion of your challenge.

Many thanks to arisoft for their very quick response in extending the script to support this. This config should now work as you requested.
