Postal codes is not an allowed geographical area, challenges can only be based on countries, regions or counties according to the challenge cache guidelines. Since Aarau is a county in the region of Aargau it's the smallest allowed geographical area already.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
No such list exists and this project would be impossible because of how the ratings are calculated. If many fulfill a challenge cache the difficulty rating will drop, meaning it's impossible to keep a trail having all the different difficulties. It's also basically impossible to design a challenge that follows todays guidelines so it can be published and gets a challenge difficulty ratiby Pleu - Miscellaneous
@jqmons Out of curiosity, how come for example https://coord.info/GCGH82 is not excluded? To me it seems clear that this is also a traveling cache but there might be something lost in translation there..by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

HenriettaHeroes was opted out when I replied the first time, they seem to have since changed their settings. Apparently I should have made a screenshot to prove that they were opted out but you'll just have to trust me on that. :)by Pleu - Miscellaneous
It's because they've opted to not share their data with third parties by checking the box that says "Do not share my personal information with Authorized Developer applications." in their profile at Geocaching.com, more info about this can be found here: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=27&pgid=920by Pleu - Miscellaneous
@Paulchen05 It's not about the difficulty of the challenge. It's about the concept not following the guidelines and similar challenges have been denied on appeal.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Reaching a specific number would be ratio caching anyway. I'm at 1.6383, so to get to 1.1111 I would have to not find caches for a number of days until I've reached 1.1111. The checker would only give green for a short period of time and then I would "lose" my qualification (this is generally a bad sign). And on top of all that the challenge would require that you've founby Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

Checkers always use the posted coordinates for caches since they don't have access to the final coordinates. If you use map compare you can see what caches are in the specified county. Here's a link that shows the active caches with the county and the T-rating needed: https://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCompare?profile_name=team+novo&country=Australia®ion=New+South+Wales&cby Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
These two already existing non-challenge-checkers probably fills your need: Calendar and D/T for all sizes and 9 of the cachetypes (doesn't have CITO): https://project-gc.com/Challenges/49673 Calendar for all cachetypes: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/64533 (or technically 15 cachetypes for all days, impossible to fulfill).by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I might have chosen the wrong word, what I ment when I said I suspect you "droped the radius" is that it seems your PQs are running without the radius (or some other data point is incorrect) since you're getting more caches than you're supposed to. English is not my first language so there is probably a better word for this. Sorry for the confusion. :) I think I've spoby Pleu - Miscellaneous
Common reasons for mismatching results with the PQ splitter is not having the exact same settings. Start by double checking that you have California set for the PQs you run, I just checked the first one from the beginning to 2006-09-20 and there is at least six caches that are in Mexico just by looking at the map and a couple of border caches, so that one seems to match that problem.

@vogelbird OP said in their correction at December 03, 2021 07:32PM to make 1 = 63022, 2 = 63022, 3 = 378132. Then the total would be 504176 and the calculation makes sense.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@vogelbird I think you need to re-read the request. OP asks for traditional caches only.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Just use the top list for elevation to search for caches above a specific height. You don't need a checker for this. https://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopElevation?country=Australia&hidedisabled=on&hidearchived=on&submit=Filterby Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
My assumption is that this is due to #2 to #4 of the series lack the word challenge in the title. Challenging does not equal challenge. :) The first one is called "A Challenging Series #1 - Challenge Accepted!" so it's saved by the second challenge in the title and that's why it's not on the list.by Pleu - Challenge checker exceptions
@Vogelbird You've misunderstood what I'm answering here. Read OP again and you'll see that they want to confirm that the checker uses the final coordinates instead of the posted coordinates to determine what country/region/county a cache belongs to.... I'm answering that, I don't care how they decide to do with their coordinates for the challenge itself.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

A cloned challenge will be exactly the same as the one you clone. The challenge you link is just a fizzy with no restrictions though. I qualify for it and I have zero finds in Canada. :)by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
@ru.beus Assuming you would count the same countries as Europe as Alferic have done and the same region/counties as the specified as the "capital region" then yes. Personally I would have made some changes there, but that's up to you. :)by Pleu - Miscellaneous
Here is a checker request for a similar challenge, as you can see you would need to submit a list of the counties/districts/similar you want to use for the challenge for the volunteers to be able to tag it: https://project-gc.com/forum/read?11,52910,52914#msg-52914by Pleu - Miscellaneous
@Deepdiggingmole Project-GC has an algorithm/script/whatever-the-correct-technical-word-for-the-thing-is-in-English that adds caches to the exceptions list automatically, why wouldn't I assume that a cache with the attribute but without the word "challenge" in the title is caught by that algorithm? Seems like one of the most obvious things to include?by Pleu - Challenge checker exceptions
It had the challenge attribute when I looked at it so it was clearly added by the algorithm (since it had the attribute but not the "challenge" in the name, no more checker and is not a mystery). If the attribute is no longer there it has been removed since the cache was added to the list.by Pleu - Challenge checker exceptions
Even if the data is wrong in your case it's much better in other cases, but the main benefit is that it can actually be updated in a smoother way so errors can be corrected which should benefit all. If you found an error in the old data, the odds is that the only answer Project-GC could give was along the lines of ”sorry, nothing we can do about that because the error is in the data.”. :) Soby Pleu - Miscellaneous
