Hello,
I need a new Challenge Checker for GCA4QVB

The condition is as follows:
Find 10 caches per day for 10 consecutive days.
The type of cache doesn't matter.


Thank you in advance, I'm really looking forward to it

That is exactly what the Guideline I quoted prohibits. See:

Is it possible to create a Checker with following?
Found at least 10 Caches per Day on 100 Days
Or if i doesn't fulfil these Challenge
Found at least 10 Caches per Day on 50 Days
It's definitely not time-limited

Ok,
And what is about :
"Founds from 20 Countries in Europe with at least 1 Cache Found"?
Re: GCA4QVB new Challenge Checker request
February 12, 2023 09:16PM
That can be done.

Then I would be very happy if you could implement it like this.
Thank you so much!

First of all - thx for the Checker.
Basically it works as desired.
Please add the two countries Turkey and Kazakhstan.
After that I can release the cache for reviewing.
Thanks very much

Hello,
after Submit for Review, I got the feedback from the Reviewer that the challenge is too difficult and that there are almost no people in the region who can complete this challenge.
For this reason I have to make the task easier and therefore I ask you to adapt the checker and reduce the number of countries to 10.
"Find and log at least 1 cache in at least 10 European countries"
many thanks in advance for your efforts

Hello,
is it possible to generate a text feedback after successfully completing the Challenge Checker?
The following text should then appear:
Die Zahl, die du am GZ benötigst lautet "951" !
Thx

No. This is not possible, technologically. Moreover:

Quote
Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 7: Signing Log

Cachers may sign a challenge cache's physical log at any time.

Geocachers must be permitted to sign the geocache's logbook at any time, even if they do not qualify for the Challenge.

Even if I were able to implement such a message, individuals could simply run others' names through to obtain the lock combination.
