requires founds of the oldest cache in 4 different countries. European if possible

> > SIAM CH18 CHALLENGE – AVERAGE 100 WORDS PER LOG

Against rule 10 of the guidelines:
Source of Criteria: Challenge cache criteria must be based upon the type of log, not on the log content.

My reviewer has bounced this challenge.
My question : you said "including the badges which are allowed as per the guidelines"
What does that mean ? I noticed you only count 26 badges out of 39 available...
Kindly pls advise.
Thanks beforehand

The checker uses the conditions as listed on project-gc.com badges page, but only the ones that are allowed as per the current challenge cache guidelines, hence only 26 being available instead of the 39 that's listed there.

Can this checker be increased to 5 countries please. Thx beforehand

Updated to 5.

Noted - thanks a lot !

I checked the counter when created and got green light for 5 oldies. Now he does not pick up the oldest in Luxemburg BurGeo 2 GC503C.anymore which I logged 30/5/2019. Kindly pls advise

It appears GC4871 is older at 2002-04-02. GC503C is 2002-04-21. Not sure how that happened or what changed since you ran the checker, since I'm not seeing any changes to those caches (disabled/enabled)?

Dear Pieterix
the challenge you wrote for GC8CA17 - SIAM CH07 CHALLENGE - 5 OLDEST CACHES (Belgium) :
does it include ALL countries all over the world or just european countries ?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards
P@je

Answered via e-mail, since I saw that first.

I know where the problem lies. I was thinking abt Traditionals.
We leave the checker as is. I will be doing the oldest in Holland in the near future so the problem will solve itself.
Thanks again for your feedback

Dear Pieterix,
Since this challenges has been bounced by my reviewer(s), I have changed it into :
"you need to have found at least 5000 caches'

Appreciate yr update. Thx beforehand

PS : irrelevant which kind of caches

Here's your updated checker:

Please test and let us know if it's suitable. Will delete the old checker linked to the same GC code now.

Checker ok ! Delete previous one.
Thx yr quick intervention.

Already deleted.
