GC72CVY: there is no existing script for this challenge

The alternatives could be
10 different counties and 5 type

your result will look like this

That'll work. I'll call it the Ontario Five and Dime.

5 cache types in 10 counties

Thanks

Thanks. One thing about the output. I like how it displays in a grid when someone succeeds in fulfilling the challenge but when someone doesn't, it doesn't show what they need, how many. See Lisdowney, egghammer. At first its unclear what they are missing. Is it possible to display the grid with the column they are missing be blank? And/or when stating what caches they have, let's say 4, that it says 4 of 5 required?

Some modification of this checker is required.The latest reviewer looking at it is confused and I think it needs a little change.

Ten caches total must be found in 10 counties. 5 cache types only traditional, a multi, a mystery, an Eartchace and a Letterbox.

Each cache type MUST be used twice. My output does show that except the highlight green shows only one for some even though more than one are on the chart. It's a little confusing.

Can you change the output to show just a qualifying GC for the cache type in which county? Right now it is showing GREEN but I would like it to need 2 of each type

TR - GC# - County 1
TR - GC# - County 2
ML - GC# - County 3
ML - GC# - County 4
MY - GC# - County 5
MY - GC# - County 6
EC - GC# - County 7
EC - GC# - County 8
LB - GC# - County 9
LB - GC# - County 10

If you run Hard Oiler he fails the current checker. It says he is missing the Earthcache, yet he has many in Ontario.

The problem is, that you have not specified the rules well.
Now it's clear, you must have found 2 caches of the same type in two different counties and it's not required D/T 2/2.

Hopelessly the checker actually cannot check this condition. I can try to modify it, however it will be hard.
Stand by.

Yeah my bad. I realize it was convoluted. Hopefully it is clearer now. It didn't even make sense to me. The D/T condition of 2/2 is no longer required, you are correct.
Re: two new checkers.
March 28, 2017 10:22PM
I've modified it, try it now.
Hopefully the modify was not hard as I've expected.
