Not my cache - but I can't find a checker for this and I would have expected someone to have considered one for this simple challenge Can a checker be created for this one ? The challenge requires you to complete the following all on the same date. 1 letterbox cache 2 earth caches 3 puzzle caches 4 multi caches 5 traditional caches cheers Timby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This cache has just appeared in the exception list and it is evident that this old cache was a challenge cache - but as HQ are soon to be removing benchmarks from the main website they added a log to explain this with the comment "Because logging benchmarks on Geocaching.com will not be possible when benchmarks are removed from the site, Geocaching HQ will archive challenge caches which requby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions

GCA0TNQ - this is Mole's Fibonacci Attributes Challenge Hello Please can I have a checker for the above - the criteria is as follows Find positive attributes that number in the sequence of the Fibonacci series up to the 21st number As follows 10946 6765 4181 2584 1597 987 610 377 233 144 89 55 34 21 13 8 5 3 2 1 1 As an example and for better explanation -by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Just a note to say this has been added due to the fact that despite looking like a challenge cache - it is not - the CO does state this is not a challenge cache on the cache page and despite having challenge in the title, the attribute and the checker - this was due to the fact that this was submitted as a challenge but refused - and resubmitted as a puzzle cache - but with little about the challby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
"If you've logged a traditional that shouldn't have been published and is later archived it's still a cache you've logged" Any cache that has been published that quickly gets archived will remain on stats - even the caches that I am referring to - my point is with regard to whether they remain on PGC challenge cache lists - The find remains - The one in the exampby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
Just clicked on the list (in the filter section) to see what I have done differently to others One on my list is - Well-Traveled Cacher: Degree Squares GC99AE7 I had downvoted this because it had not complied with the guidelines and so should not have been published and in fact was archived by the reviewer 4 days after it was published for that very reason. Now I acknowledge the Challenby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
In relation to the exception list at what point is a decsion made to include or preclude a cache based on the votes that it has received. As it states - anything over 35% will then consider that cache to be an exception and presumably that will then mean it is included (if it is upvoted) or not (if it has been downvoted) from the challenge cache list that appears in our challange cache tab (oby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
Following the last thread (now archived) Just had another look at this and seems https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5JX16/16077 was missed off getting updated can this also be done Many thanks Timby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

Great Thanks again Timby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi thank you Yes that works. Still a couple missing but I am guessing that is because they are not attached to the relevant bookmarks. I can sort that out, as it isn't a fault of the checker But the checker works fine Thank you Vogelbird Timby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi Please note I have emailed the person whose name appears next to 'Script name' on the checker (who also happens to be the CO of the cache) - but have not had a reply - however they have not been online for 5 months, and have only found one cache in the last 3 years With regard to challenge checker - https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC361N2/25873 I used this today and notedby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This appeared on the exception list I believe it'll have divided opinion and so I thought it is one of those for discussion My thoughts - This 'challenge' though pre-moratorium does not involve any other cache and does not require the finding of any other cache - you just need to write a log (for THIS challenge cache) of more than 100 words - technically you can not qualify forby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
@Pleu - I am not disagreeing with you - however it was raised in discussion as I noted already that this has had a downvote as well as an upvote (it did when I added my vote) - I feel that when there is disparity then a discussion is not a bad thing :-) and may give clarityby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
This one has been added to the exception list and having read it several times I believe this will have a split of opinion. My thoughts Everything is there to allow this to be passed as a challenge cache Challenge in title - yes Criteria to be fulfilled - yes...find a cache in Egypt (note this cache is in Switzerland) Challenge Attribute - yes Checker - yes So it does seem that this haby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions

I have also just noted that the list of qualifying counties as per the script output does show Conwy - which is not a county shown on my GSAK output - so it is probable that Conwy and Clwyd are the same - I take it the different programs use different mapping sources and hence the name disparityby Deepdiggingmole - Miscellaneous
I have had this challenge on my watch list for a while - I used the checker (in header) again today to note how many counties that qualify so far - says 23/24 - so I then went through my caches to see which counties were close - I noted that Clwyd (Wales) which I have listed as having found 140 caches in, did not come up on the list and so in theory I should already qualify.

I have just been looking at updating my birthday cache list (caches I have found on the anniversary of their hidden date) and have used the above checker to assist with this - however I noted that it was missing at least 8 caches that I have found on their anniversaries (having checked this against a list created using the Happy Birthday macro with GSAK) Is there a reason this checker would misby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

I messaged the CO and all have been amended With challenge caches now being 'allowed' again as the criteria for challenges - I think it is important for COs and reviewers to get these things rightby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
Tish, well spotted That'll be it Cheersby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
This new challenge cache and 2 others by the same CO has appeared on the exception list Has something changed since it was added - as it seems everything that is required of a challenge cache (the word 'Challenge' in title - criteria - attribute etc etc) is there. was something missing and has now been corrected ?by Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
I hadn't realised an algorithm was used - I had always been under the impression the exceptions were added manually by members - you learn something new every day :-)by Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
