[Resolved] Five Checker request: 42 Mystery caches found

[Resolved] Five Checker request: 42 Mystery caches found
June 17, 2020 08:17PM
Hello,

We need a checker for our first challenges:

GC8V6ND, GC8V6P0, GC8V6P5, GC8V6PK, GC8V6PY

To validate GC8V6ND the geocacher must have found just 42 mystery caches.
To validate GC8V6P0 the geocacher must have found 42 mystery caches on one day.
To validate GC8V6P5 the geocacher must have found mystery caches on 42 days in a row .
To validate GC8V6PK the geocacher must have found mystery caches with 42 different D-/T-rating in the 81 mystery matrix.
To validate GC8V6PY the geocacher must have found mystery caches in 42 different counties (not countries).

Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
shgv

Thanks for the checkers. They work as desired.
It is really annoying that the directives do not allow the other two challenges.

Instead, is it possible to create a checker for GC8V6P0 that requires 42 mystery caches, with at least 42 favorite points each?

Here is the link for GC8V6P0 that requires 42 mystery caches, with at least 42 favorite points each?

Please test and reply

For GC8V6P5 that requires 42 challenge caches?
Again this is not possible. Challenge caches are not a standalone type but part of the Unknown type. The only way to identify them is by name but this is since the introduction in 2016 of the challenge guidelines this type of challenge is no longer allowed.

Please read https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#criteria

Not acceptable

I was afraid of something like this.
We would then like to have a checker for 1764 (42*42) mystery caches found for GC8V6P5.
Sorry for the trouble we made.
Thanks and best regards

Project-GC doesn't have access to unpublished caches hence the "?" you see there now. As soon as your cache is published (or within a reasonable time thereafter) it will show your cache name there.

Ah, that's nice.
So we are fine to publish them.
Again, many thanks.
