[Resolved] Quantity 5 of 4 sizes in 3 counties challenge - GCAC015

[Resolved] Quantity 5 of 4 sizes in 3 counties challenge - GCAC015

Hello sir or madam.
The challenge for GCAC015 is

Find a quantity of at least 5 geocaches of each of at least 4 sizes in each of at least 3 U.S. counties.

Worded another way, You need to find at least 60 geocaches. In each of at least 3 different U.S. counties, find at least 20 geocaches, which will include 5 instances of each of 4 different sizes. You don't need to pick the same selection of sizes in the different counties, but make sure there are at least 5 of each size you pick. Any type of geocache works, except locationless or lab caches.

For example, my qualifications include:
Bannock County, ID: 11 size large, 110 size other, 201 size micro, 20 size not chosen
Washington County, UT: 6 size not chosen, 8 size virtual, 5 size small, 11 size micro
Utah County, UT: 71 size small, 6 size large, 30 size other, 15 size virtual

It would be absolutely amazing if there was a map output. There is a generic county checker (by Rikitan) that hopefully has most of the checker map built already. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3EGVQ/5813. I know you are very busy and this is a bit more complicated, so I totally understand if it is text only.
I'm just grateful for your help.

Hello ladderguy,

You can use:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAC015/80064

Unfortunately map output is not possible in this case - the structured test checker that implements the logic here doesn't have room for map output.

Thanks,
Hügh

The alternate checker is working just like it should. Thank you for building it.

...and here is an alternative checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/80065

It is much faster, but it cannot display any detailed progress beyond a list of counties (this is an unfortunate consequence of how the script is implemented).

Hi Hugh.

Thanks for building those checkers. The first one did have issues with speed, like you said. Before the second one came out, I found https://project-gc.com/Challenges//64576 which looks at types in U.S. counties. I thought that could be adjusted for size per county with a count of each instance in the place of the icons, and then a final column at the far right showing if that column makes it (count of 4 or more values of 5 or greater).

But then I saw your second checker just now.
I'll test it out when I get back to the computer on Saturday night.
thanks for the help.
