Re: GC7R51F 5x5x5 new, unpublished challenge

Hi,
I'd like to request a checker with the following requirements:

Find at least 5 T5 caches in at least 5 countries. So the minimum is 25 T5 caches, at least 5 in each of the 5 countries.

The desired output (apart from the information if the cacher meets the requirements) would be a list of countries where the cacher found T5 caches (sorted by the number of found T5 caches, descending), the number of found caches (next to the country name), and, below each country name, list of up to 5 T5 caches found in that country (depending on the number of T5's found). A sample of country/cache list would look something like this:

1. Poland (133)
1. GC Code 1 | Cache name 1
2. GC Code 2 | Cache name 2
3. GC Code 3 | Cache name 3
4. GC Code 4 | Cache name 4
5. GC Code 5 | Cache name 5
and 128 other...
2. Czechia (39)
1. GC Code 1 | Cache name 1
2. GC Code 2 | Cache name 2
3. GC Code 3 | Cache name 3
4. GC Code 4 | Cache name 4
5. GC Code 5 | Cache name 5
and 34 other...
3. Hungary (1)
1. GC Code 1 | Cache name 1

Thank you in advance
Wojtek

Here is the link to the checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7R51F/35432

Please test and confirm

Hi,
Thank you for such quick response. The checker confirmed that I meet the requirements but the number of found caches per country is sometimes wrong.
For me it seems to be ok in Germany (25), but the numbers seem to be smaller than in reality in Lithuania (5 instead of 8), Czechia (32 instead 39) and Poland. I used the Top Finders stat to check (using the country filter). The number in Lithuania I know for sure as it was a small one and all done in one day.

I did some more digging and the problem seems to be random (or at least without direct cause in the caches). I started checking the results on other users.

E.g. for the user jp.honza it shows only 5 caches in Germany, The user did the same boat trail as I did. It showed ALL (25) caches for me but only 5 for him. I verified manually that he found all or almost all caches on that trail.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if there are false negatives on some users I checked (this might be important when trying to publish the cache).

Sorry for the delay, I had some prio's on an other matter.

The script works randomly and it stops when the target is reached in order to save processing time. I your case not all the T5 are detected and the figures in between the brackets do not represent all the T5's

If I do a checker for 8x5x5 you still have a green checker which shows

Ok,
so in that case can we remove the number per country result? It introduces confusion.

Regards
Wojtek

No I can not remove that because it is a multi script and in other cases I need this figure

Ok then, let's leave it as it is.

Thank you very much for your help.

There is an alternative checker made by Turako https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7R51F/35433

Please tell me if you are going to use that one

The alternative has nice output formatting, but your version gives more information to the people who do not meet the requirements (finds in incomplete countries) and that's very useful. I'll stick to your version :)

Okay, resolved
