Re: Checker needed for GC5E5V5

https://coord.info/GC5E5V5

For this Challenge its needed to log 4 Caches any type with following arguments
The Max North, South, Ost and East Cache of Germany.

IMHO this could be a rule:
The North cache is the highest range of north koordinate and so on.

at the moment:
Norden Deutschlands nördlichste Dose: https://coord.info/GC4YRRY
Süden Südend 6 - Grenzstein 147: https://coord.info/GC1DEG7
Osten: Ost-Ende oder Östlichster Punkt Deutschlands: https://coord.info/GCNHNA
Westen West-End Germany: https://coord.info/GC5E5V

thank you
sincerly

We look at this challenge before but could not find an easy solution.
Because this challenge is not allowed under the 2016 guidelines we have not followed this any further.

Hallo vogelbird
hallo any helping hand

i know the guideline and i dont look for exactly the listed caches. its only an possible example.

So, i know thats not an easy list and i transfer my question
Mybe we look for 4 caches in germany, which correspond to following terms

in germany
Which one has the lowest north koordinate, this one i am looking for.
Which one has the highest north koordinate, this one i am looking for.
Which one has the lowest east koordinate, this one i am looking for.
Which one has the highest north koordinate, this one i am looking for.

The result is a floating list and will change, if cashes are new oder some are archived.

Thank you again for this non easy queue

Sorry, What you are suggesting is, as far as I know, not available in the checker system

vogelbird is right that checkers won’t be able to access this data at least not currently
However, as a possible suggestion that is similar, you could find the range of the user’s most northernly and southernly, then easterly and westerly, then have that figure scored above a certain number. See https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC94MTV/57620 as an example. This would be possible with a small script extension.

Dear DrAcorn,
dear Vogelbird
thank you very much to offer me this way.

I tranfer my examination to solve the challange:
___________
The rules are: You will be scored in 2 ways: North-South range, East-West range, each out of 10, 10 being where you have found the maximum range in the whole country.

In Germany, the most northernly cache is GC3JH5D, and the most southernly is GC1DEG7, so there is a latitude range of 7.78815 degrees. The most easternly cache is GCNHNA, and the most westernly is GC5E5V5, so there is a longitude range of 9.1637 degrees.

So in terms of points, they are based on the latitude difference in decimal degrees between your most extreme finds within Germany compared to the possible range; i.e. NS points = 10 x (your latitude difference in decimal degrees / 7.78815), and EW points = 10 x (your longitude difference in decimal degrees / 9.1637)

You need a minimum 18 points to quailify.

Is this the way?
Thank you very much
Thin Lizzy

Looks good to me - I’ll update my script to accommodate later today. Do you have a gc-code for your challenge?

Please:

Thank You very much
Thin Lizzy

Can you check this, because that is an already published traditional cache.

excuse me.



I am edit the challenge listing at the moment

Here is an alternative
Distance between extreme point
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9EXWE/63609

I know that this is acceptable by some reviewe
I have 2150 km at the moment to see if you can find 10 cachers who qualify

Its perfekt to me.

Nothing more to do.

Thank you very much
Thin Lizzy
