I'm sorry but your challenge criteria might not be acceptable because a contigneous find beyond 365 days is not allowed and also a conditional find is not allowed

Please contact you reviewer for more information and read the hiding guidelines 9. Time-Limited https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#timeLimited

After consulting the reviewer, please set up the checker as follows:
Find a geocache in 15 different states in 15 different years.
The states/independent regions listed on project-gc at the time of the find log are valid (today 250).
Each state can only be used once.
Only physical geocache can be used (no: Virtual, WebCam, EarthCache, locationless, all events)

The "15 different years." are they hidden years because it is not mentioned ?

please change title 1 to "First Found Year"
The result should be sorted in ascending year order

Changing it to "First Found Year" will violate the challenge guidelines

Please read 8. Attainable https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#attainable

Not acceptable

Requiring caches to be found in earlier years, as it is not attainable by someone new to the game.

OK, the checker works as desired. Many thanks for the support.
Question: If the result is positive, is it possible to generate a map with the included countries?
