I need a checker for GC9DG8P

Re: GC9DG8P - Capital Challenge

There is no database for capitals so you have to tell us for each country the county you want to use

Please give us the county or region names as shown in the PGC lists

As example
Athens consits of Central Athens, North Athens, Piraeus, South Athens and West Athens

ok, I see following problem:
some capital counties are not only the city but also a large region around, e.g. Nicosia in Cyprus.
Some capitals are divided in several counties e.g. Athens as you showed or Brussels which is 19 counties.

But this would mean that if someone has all counties of Brussels he will nearly have completed this challenge.

Or is it possible to make the checker, that if several regions of Brussels or Athen are found that only one of them counts for the challenge?

But this seems to be too difficult for a code!? Or is it possible?

This is still possible but I have no time to do the leg work.
You have to tell me how each capital is build up.

You do not have to use only counties because for Belgium you can use the region Brussels or even for Monaco the country name.

Please make the list for each capital (county or counties or region or country) because I have no time for this

Here is an example how the checker could look like https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6ZFMP/24384

I still had started the list when I saw that Brussels is divided in 19 parts and so I first wanted to check if it is possible.
I will propere the list tomorrow. if I can use region Brussels instead of the 19 parts as shown on the map it would work

Question on Netherlands - - Amsterdam - - Noord-Holland (Region)
Why did you use the province because the city of Amsterdam is the county "Amsterdam"
Re: GC9DG8P - Capital Challenge
July 05, 2021 07:28PM
I didn't go down to the next level,
Yes you're right, Noord-Holland is too big and should be only Amsterdam city itself

But now I made a check for Cachers in the region that fulfill the challenge and I found only two
That is too less for a challenge and reviewer would not approve it
So please change requirement from 20 to 15 then there are some more cachers that fulfill the challenge
Re: GC9DG8P - Capital Challenge
July 07, 2021 09:25AM
Reduced to 15
Re: GC9DG8P - Capital Challenge
July 07, 2021 03:59PM
Thank You for the update
Re: GC9DG8P - Capital Challenge
September 16, 2021 10:37PM
the checker isn't picking up any London finds.
London is classed as a region and both greater London and City of London are classed as counties.
Cheers
