Re: Checker required for GCAKZBW

Hi!! Would someone please be able to create a checker for me? I’m hoping to publish my first challenge that requires the following:


5 x DT 5/5 combo finds

5 x loops

5 x five different types that equal 5 in the DT combo

5 x challenges in 5 different states

5 x finds in different countries


If the 5 different type that add up to DT of five is confusing, I can attach a pic to explain further. Feel free to ask any questions, and thank you in advance

"5 x five different types that equal 5 in the DT combo" is indeed confusing. Please explain

Hi Vogelbird

Thanks for your prompt response. Is there a way I can send you a picture without needing a url? It would explain it easily.

In the meantime, here is an example:
A cacher has found a trad, a puzzle, a virtual, a multi and a letterbox that all have a DT of 1.5/3.5. The total of each DT is five. The total number of cache types is five.

They need to do this for five out of the seven DT combos that add up to a total of five. These are: 1/4, 1.5/3.5, 2/3, 2.5/2.5, 3/2, 3.5/1.5 and 4/1.

As a base for my own I used the challenge checker for GC8G04H, the DTT Challenge. There is a few of these challenges and the script used was created by Arisoft. I hope this helps to clarify. Thanks again for your help.

Sorry for the late return but somehow I missed you responce
Here is the link to a checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAKZBW/87611

Please test and reply

Hi again!

Your work is very much appreciated. But doesn’t seem to include all the cache types, just the ones given as an example. Would you please be able to add in the rest? Most particularly Earth Caches, WhereIGo’s, Events and CITO’s.

Other than that it looks pretty right to me. Would I be right in assuming there’s no issue with the other four challenge requirements? Again, thank you for taking this on.

Types restriction removed

Thank you, that works

Hi Vogelbird

Resolved? The checker only has one the five qualifying criteria in the program.

Back to the drawing board. Please clarify the 5 loops (DT or Hidden calendar)

Pending your answer I made a new checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAKZBW/87619

In this checker 5 x DT 5/5 combo finds and 5 x loops do not make sence because 5 loops will give you 5 DT 5/5 combo's

Oh my goodness - yes. Sorry!!! You are right, I did mean DT loops.

And yeah… it is silly to have 5 x D5/T5 finds as well. Can I please make that requirement to have hidden a 5/5 cache themselves or hosted 5 events.

Again, your assistance is very much appreciated ☺️

I'm sorry but the new criteria is not allowed

Please read https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#criteria
Not acceptable

Requiring cachers to own a cache.

Oh!!! Let’s keep it simple then do this can get finalised. Make it 5 find on the 5th of May (any year). Thank you Vogelbird

I will submit the challenge for publishing on 5th May after I have hosted an event.

Not acceptable

Requiring more than one find on any day or calendar date, even if cumulative.

Oh wow! That’s confusing. I have re-read the rules and have refreshed my brain. So if I understand right, I can require a finder to have attended at least one event in five different Australian states or territories? Fingers crossed, and that is the final criteria. Thanks for your patience.

I adjusted the checker, please test

Yay!! Success. Thank you very much for your help.
