Hi there, I was wondering if someone could fix a typo in the output from this checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAR592/90655 I've found a Calendar with 365 dates filled with 'Tradiotional caches in Micro size' . on **365** different days of year and Calendar with 365 dates filled with 'Tradiotional caches in Micro size' .

Sorry for taking so long to reply. The PGC checker results weren't matching my GSAK data but I finally figured out why so I'm good now. (PGC's "district" covers multiple municipalities for my locality.) I'm disappointed by the 2 county thing but I understand. Those cachers will just have to figure out what they're missing another way then. As long aby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Tested and everything looks great. As long as Feb 29 is not required (which is against the challenge rules), I'm good with this checker. I haven't been able to find any specific caches/cacher names to test the other caveats I wanted so I'll assume they are in place and working. Thank you for creating the checker. Please close this request.by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi again. Could I please get a checker built for GCAQ29V next? It requires cachers to find a cache on all 365 days of the year in the same municipality/county. Again the finds do not have to be sequential in any way so a consecutive day streak is not required for this challenge. I've found a pre-existing similar challenge already https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC954GD/57991 which myby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi there, could I please get a checker built for GCAR592? Essentially, the challenge is to find a traditional cache in micro size on all 365 days of the year. The finds do not have to be sequential in any way. In other words, a consecutive day streak is not required for this challenge. It is very similar to this pre-existing challenge - https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9MVHD/73190. It apby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thank you very much for the clarifications. I've updated my cache description and cloned the existing checker for my challenge. Please close this request.by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi there, could I please get a checker built for GCAF6CT? My challenge is almost identical to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAEJVB/81395, so much so that I'm considering cloning it. I already have permission from the CO to leverage his idea. However, before I do that (assuming I can clone the checker), I wanted to verify that the checker covers these "potentially extra" cby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thank you for the information, vogelbird. This cacher is well over that threshold so that explains the time out issue. I've told him to go ahead and log the cache as a result. Please go ahead and close this issue as resolved as well. I shouldn't come across this issue too often and I'll update the description to make people aware of this time out issue. Thanks.by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi there - I suspect I know what's going on but this checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAEV95/81762 is timing out for one local cacher when he runs it. I'm guessing it's because of his high find count and the checker just runs out of time to do all the math. Is there any way to extend the 'allowed' run time or is there some other way to optimize the code so itby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Whew! You had me worried for a bit there. :-0 Thanks. I've tested the checker and it looks good. I've tested it on a few cachers already and it appears to be running as designed. I was hoping to find some people 'on the bubble' to test out my caveats but I can't find anyone so far. Please close this request as resolved. Thanks again for all your help.by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Interesting. However there is no time limited aspect to this challenge. The cacher can take as long as they want to complete it. And there are no specific streak or "order" requirements for it. This challenge is completely based on the mm/dd grid for caches' hidden date, not their found date. I've already discussed this with my local reviewer and they have approved it.by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi there - could I please get a checker built that verifies if a cacher has filled in every day of their "mm/dd" hidden date calendar 4 times? The cache GC code is GCAH044. Here's a number of caveats/clarifications for the challenge - There are no restrictions on when or whatever order the caches are found in, so whatever dates the caches are actually found on is irrelevantby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA2KRJ/73404 This checker was working correctly as recently as yesterday potentially but now it's started returning a 'caught exception' error msg. It appears to be happening to multiple people (including me) running the checker, against multiple cacher names. Could someone please have a look to see what's going on? Thanks.by sapien - Miscellaneous
So sorry for all the confusion. I get it now. I didn't realize the checker was so granular and counted actual hours. All is good now. Thanks for making the adjustment and your patience dealing with all my requests and questions. Thank you for all your assistance and creating the checker. Please close this request as resolved now.by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ah, thank you for explaining. Smart that the checker compensates for daylight savings. If it's meant to be that way, I'm good with that. Just curious though - Wouldn't daylight savings just add x number of leap days to the age though, meaning "whole" days still (or 24 hours) though? Or am I missing something?

Thank you for trying. I was worried that was the cause of the delay. I'll remove it from my challenge.criteria. This helps those people who adopt caches now so it's not a bad thing. :-) I just wanted to confirm the final link with GC code is - https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAEV95/81762 Is there an explanation as to why the "age" total is a decimal number (vs anby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
If it's too much trouble or work to exclude cachers finding their own caches from the checker, please let me know and I can exclude that criteria from my challenge. Thanks.by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Yes! Thank you for modifying the script to handle the bookmark list and duplicate finds. I like that it uses the "first" aka oldest log as well. Please exclude the GPS Mazes caches. If they're logged based on hidden date, they're exactly like an event and will have an age of zero days then, which makes them irrelevant to the final total anyways.

Thank you for the quick turnaround. I've tested the checker a few times and it looks good so far. I'll test further, as any other changes are made. Firstly, whew! Thank you for figuring out why there's a difference between the numbers I was getting from the GC98CP4 checker and manually. I'm glad there was a logical explanation.

Hi there, I was wondering if I could get a checker built for GCAEV95. My challenge 'sorta' exists already. It's similar to https://coord.info/GC98CP4 but I'm using different "units" (days vs years) and a different quantity (6 million vs 10,000). Essentially my challenge calculates the age of each cache (in days) that you've found (date found minus hidden daby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Hi there, could I please get a challenge checker built for GCAB5ZC that requires a cacher to have found at least 1111 caches in one country, 111 in a 2nd, 11 in a 3rd, and finally 1 more in a 4th country?

Hi there, I recently published 3 new challenge caches. Normally after about 2 weeks (or sooner), the challenge difficulty rating (the skull and crossbones number) auto-populates. It's been about 3 weeks now since I've published and still none of my checkers have a rating yet. I also checked another recently published challenge as well; same problem.
