Re: GC8Q28F

This challenge checker most basically requires that you find 2 caches in each of the 5 states that begin with R, S & T. It was reported to me that the Checker only requires finding 2 caches 4 of the states.

vogelbird set up that checker.

They are probably asleep now but I'm sure they will fix it once they wake up and see this thread.

Thanks, you hard working folks.

Can you give me a nick name because if you find only 4 States you will not get a green checker

With 4 States you get only 4 points of the 5 needed so they need to find 2 caches in Saskatchewan or a country beginning with the letter S to get the missing point

Here is the person that reports getting a green checker even though he doesn't qualify: zdonb

zdonb found 4 states and 1 country so he qualifies for the challenge because a checher does not know where the cacher resites from

Remember that the checker 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.

I think the issue is that only one find in Texas is listed, when there should be two for the state to count.

Thanks Hügh for pointing this out.

It a while to find out what was happening but it turned out the zdonb had found one of the crazy caches which could be logged multiple times.

I did not realize this and have now excluded the "crazy caches" and zdonb now fails the checker

Sorry,I withdraw the inquiry. I see that although zdonb only has 1 Find in Texas, he has Finds in 2 countries that start with "S".
