Re: GC3CF3M The Gross Challenge - 12 caches/12 months/12 consecutive years

Hi,

I would like to request a checker for an existing challenge cache.

https://coord.info/GC3CF3M

You must find or have found one cache that was placed in any of 12 consecutive years since 2000. i.e. one cache that was paced in the years 2000-2011, or for a possibly easier challenge: one cache that was placed in the years 2001-2012, and for the real easy challenge: one cache that was placed in the years 2004-2015. This challenge gets easier as the years roll by.
Each of your qualifying caches must have been placed in each of the 12 months of the year.
Your qualifying caches must consist of 6 Traditional, 3 Unknown, 2 Multi, and 1 Letterbox.
Your qualifying caches must have been originally placed by different cache owners.
There are NO found date restrictions on qualifying caches.
Your qualifying caches may include archived caches.
Your qualifying caches are not restricted to New Zealand caches.

Thanks in advance

I can't see any way to do this with any existing script, so a new script will be needed. It will likely be low on the priorities, since it will be of limited use.

Thanks, the cache is already published so I'll wait patiently!:)-D

You may now try the following checker:

Please let us know if that's what you require.

Hey there, looks good. I get the right answers.

I'll get a couple of locals to verify.

Just one note regarding this:

* Your qualifying caches must have been originally placed by different cache owners.

I don't think there's a way to get the original owner of a cache, so the script is using the current owners of the caches (related to cache adoptions).

Hi there,
I don't see that as too much of an issue. I doubt if it would come up where some original owner's cache appears twice because one of them has been adopted. In most cases that I've seen caches get adopted because the original owner is getting out of the hobby.

Thanks so much for you help. A few locals tested it last evening and lots of positive comments.

Kind wish
Bruce
