Re: checker for GC6QR4H

The checker is for GC6QR4H not yet published.

Longest streak in days plus best caching month plus best single caching day must equal at least 500

Thanks,

I'm sorry but time limited finds of this kinds are not acceptable.

Please read the guidelines http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=206

9. Time-Limited - Not Acceptable
Time-limited caching: as in some number of finds per day, week, month, or year. Example, Busy Day, 50 finds in a day, 500 finds in a month, etc. (new 2016)

I discussed this with our provinces three reviewers and it seemed that they would accept it.

Geocaching.com even lists in each person's statistics page best streak, best month and best day.

I guess that a new script is needed. No existing that i know about can do that
I think i have the only streak script and i will not extend it because I think it is against the guideline mentioned above and it feels like meaningless work if it is archived by Geocaching HQ for being against the guidelines.
But someone else can feel free to write a script
There have been som other challenges obvous against the guidelines that have been archived by HQ. A challenge was based on FTF....

The problem is not that the information is not in the stats it is that it is explicitly forbidden to demands finds in a day or a months according to the guidelines posted above and repeated below. I cant see how that would allow it if they have reed the guidelines

That's okay. I understand. I'll think of or find another challenge to use out there. Thanks for your time though.

New direction.

Can I get a checker for the same GC?
Find a minimum of 5 caches that are 2500 metres above sea level and 5 caches that are any distance below sea level.

You only have 3 caches <0 and fulfill the challenge with <=0

I set the checker on the last one (<=0) http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6QR4H/22389

Really? I looked it up on GSAK and have 6 listed below sea level and more above unless its variable.

Ran the checker and it gives me 5 at 0 and 5 above

I would guess GSAK and PGC uses different sources for the elevation.
see: http://project-gc.com/Home/FAQ#2384662308
and the post below for what PGC uses.

There might be another reason if you have corrected coordinates on caches in GSAK. GSAK will then use the corrected coordinate if I am not misstanken but pgc always uses listed coordinates.

Okay. Thanks for your help. I think that I can still list for 5 above and 5 below as I did get a green good to go result.

Thanks very much again. Great work you all are doing.

The reason for only 5 caches listed in each category is that the checker only shows the reqired amount of caches and not all your finds that would be ok

Should it be changed to 3 above and 3 below then? I'm not sure I understand. The 5 listed at 0 are listed as 0 in GSAK but none of the ones I have from GSAK that are below sea level show. I have 5 caches from Louisiana New Orleans area under sea level.

Okay. :) Can we set the checker to 3 then? Three above 2500m and three below 0?

Checker is changed to three above 2500m and three below 0

Thank you. (tu)
