For Challenge Cache GC9WTD1
Please write a checker that will check to see that a cacher has the following items:

Has found and logged at least 40 Large-sized caches (Example 1)
Has discovered or moved 40 Trackables (Example 2)
Has a combination of Trackables and Larges that equal 40 (Example 3)

Example 1: A cacher found 40 Large caches
Example 2: A cacher discovered or moved 40 trackables
Example 3: A cacher has found at least X Larges AND discovered or moved X trackables.
ANY COMBINATION OF TRACKABLES AND LARGES IS GOOD SO LONG AS THE TOTAL EQUALS 40.

Thanks so much,
Jean

I am sorry but there are two parts in the challenge criteria which are not allowed

1) Trackables

Not acceptable

Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds.
2) Ratio (any combination of ......)

I changed the requirements for this challenge.

Requirements: Cachers must find at least 40 unknown/mystery caches in at least three states in the U.S.

I would like a checker written like the one like in GC9ZA4, except only 40 caches are needed to meet the requirement.

I wouldn't mind cachers using caches found in different countries, but I don't know if you can write a solver for states and countries. If you can, and you write it, please let me know, so I can add that to my cache page.

It is possible to use states and countries

I think that I'll just leave it with 3 states. In AZ, we are close to NV and to NM, so it should be easy for people to get caches there.

Thanks,
Jean
