The checkers does not have access to the user's home coordinates. Challenges are not allowed to be based upon them either, and haven't been allowed to for several years. This is a matter of integrity.

Here is the link https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8RWH7/51747

You are not allowed to exclude archived caches. If somebody found an old archived cache it will count towards the 25 required. Owned old caches also count.

Please test and reply

Thanks
That seems to work well.
Can you just explain the archived inclusion please?

I understand it includes caches that have been archived since you found them. That's fine.
Does it also include finds after a cache is archived?
Is it the oldest 25 since your joining date?
If so what happens if an old cache is archived before you find it? Does that make the challenge impossible?

Thanks

If somebody found an old archived cache it will simply replace a cache from the active list.
It has nothing to do with the date that you joined geocaching and a cacher will always able to fulfill the challenge
