[Resolved] Points-based Challenge

[Resolved] Points-based Challenge
February 13, 2018 12:17PM
I am creating a points-based challenge with the following parameters. It may change slightly but for now I just need a checker so I can see if I can easily determine how feasible the challenge is. The GC code is GC7GYMD.

Here's the challenge idea for now:

You need at least 50 points. You can earn points from finding oldie caches in the region of Toronto in certain years:

Each 2001 cache = 20 points
Each 2002 cache = 5 points
Each 2003 cache = 10 points
Each 2004 cache = 10 points
Each 2005 cache = 5 points

(If not enough people qualify for this challenge or it doesn't get approved, I would consider adding "Each 2006 cache = 1 point", but don't add that in for now).

yes - I'm wondering if I made it too easy - might have to re-work the points system. Can you change it to this:

Each 2001 cache = 15 points
Each 2002 cache = 3 points
Each 2003 cache = 7 points
Each 2004 cache = 7 points
Each 2005 cache = 3 points

Thank you - waiting to hear back from Reivewer if it's an acceptable challenge or needs to be tweaked.

Hi there - challenge has been approved at 100 points required - I believe it's still currently set at 50 so the only change to be made is to set it to requiring 100 points. Also I have noticed that about half the time I run it, I get an error message. But it works great the rest of the time. The reviewer wasn't able to get it to work. Not sure if that's a checker problem or a more global project-gc issue?

Checker changed to 100. When I tested this morning there were no issues at all.

Hi there,
Reviewer changed his mind on the 100 points and has instead approved it at 75. One last change to make it 75 points please :)
