[Resolved] GC82H05 Crazy Dozen States & Icons

[Resolved] GC82H05 Crazy Dozen States & Icons
January 16, 2019 06:42AM
For this Challenge you will need to have found at least 12 cache types (icons) in at least 12 different states... in predetermined diminishing quantities. (Quantities could be higher but they have to have at least 12/12 11/11 10/10 etc)

Find at least 12 Traditional caches in 12 states
At least 11 Virtual caches in 11 states
At least 10 Earthcaches in 10 states
9 Multi caches in 9 states
8 Mystery caches in 8 states
7 Event caches in 7 states
6 Letterbox caches in 6 states
5 Wherigo caches in 5 states
4 Webcam caches in 4 states
3 Mega events in 3 states
2 CITO events in 2 states
1 LAB/GIGA/APE/HQ etc in 1 state (or any other icon present, past, future)

The possibilities of this challenge are not limited to the above example. For example the user might have found 12 wherigos in 12 states (instead of traditionals). But at least 12 icons have to be used. (and the number of states could be more than 12)

This will need a new script....unless I am mistaken. If none of the others can Tag it with an existing script, I will give it a go.

So what do we do now?
Anyone else have a chance to look at this?

I could do this but it takes a while.

One question:

Is the type order fixed as stated in the description.

12 x traditional, etc...

or is it dynamic

12 x any type, 11 x any other type, etc...

I read it as being dynamic

Yes it would be dynamic. Doesn't have to be exactly like my example. Could be:
  • 12 wherigos in at least 12 states
  • 11 multis in at least 11 states
  • 10 traditionals in at least 10 states
  • etc

Here is the checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC82H05/39827

Please test and tell us whether it is suitable for you.

That is perfect. I love how it lets those that don't qualify what they need to achieve.
Thanks so very much.

This is beautiful script output - great job, arisoft!

Question: did the challenge cache owner intend to include locationless caches as eligible? I qualify for this challenge, but ONLY because of my locationless cache finds back in the old days, since their "home coordinates" were at random spots around the world.

I did mention in my cache description that any icon present, past or future count... except for lab caches.

There is still one problem , the script should exclude the list of traveling caches.
At the moment these are creating a region with no name.

This could be an issue but I can not find an example of empty state attribute.

Anyway it is good to add checking of empty or missing attributes to the script because the script is not limited to states of the USA and definitely there are existense problems with some attributes.

Arisoft, I will contact you via our normal communication line with an empty region example

The script has now ability to exclude caches by using a bookmark list. This feature is not used by this challenge but could be used for some other challenges if needed. This thread can be closed now.

My apologies for saying I would do it and then disappearing.... I was busy with family stuff, but I am pleased you got a good resolution... probably better than I could have done

Interesting idea!
I would like to try checker with my profile, but on output I see: Found 0 types of 12 required ***FAILED***. Strange... But after a while I will find in Tag config filter "country": "United States". That's the reason for 0 on output!
It is possible remove this filter or create new checker for me? Without restrictions in filter, for any country.
Thanks
