Hi Just had a look at this - I seem to 'qualify' with 261 'suitable' caches - however I am aware that many of these are puzzle caches (not challenges) that have been sited on .000 cords as the original locations not the final I would have to manually check the list to see if any of these are true qualifiers - however having done that I find there are some Letterbox Hybridsby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I understand all of that, obviously not for me say which way, but doesn't there need to be parity with checkers where the criteria is the sameby Deepdiggingmole - Miscellaneous
pieterix Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- I would then guess that the second checker is not correct. The first also caters for cases where there's no county name, ie. country+region only. Sounds logical - thank you can that checker (https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8M1XY/49323) be corrected along with https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8M1XG/49322 (by Deepdiggingmole - Miscellaneous
OK - that explains the difference - thank you However.. both challenges require you to have found X number of counties anywhere in the world so why do the two checkers differ, when the requirement is the same, why are they written differently / have different configurations Sorry - just getting my head round at what point the creating of these would alter so that the output is differentby Deepdiggingmole - Miscellaneous
I have recently looked at checkers and spotted a difference in stats/numbers regarding the number of 'counties' I have found Take the following two checkers - both ask for numbers of 'counties' using a worldwide search https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8CDEZ/44548 gives the output saying that I have found 167 counties https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8M1XY/49323by Deepdiggingmole - Miscellaneous
Regarding your query about having all the types shown, not just the first 7 In the output I got when I did the checker (which was green) The 7 were listed - however below that was a list of all my finds listed by type and their relative counts So it would be easy to see from that which in addition to the 7 also have 100+ Timby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Once it has been published the name will appear :-)by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Also to add You say "The location does not matter, just the number of sectors." Surely the location does matter - you have to have a single point with which to be able to identify all 360 sectors Not having any given location means any program/checker wont have a starting point That said it is irrelevant as it would not be allowedby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Nice, as I qualify with all those elements However I believe requiring any finds on 29th Feb will not be accepted as a challenge as it breaches guidelines Under Time Limited - Not acceptable - Requiring finds on February 29th.by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
Thanks, I've had a play with map compare, and can see that some have regions, but these are not broken down into counties Frustrating though - for example Croatia is described in Wiki as having 20 counties - yet this is not reflected in the PGC Mapping as it shows them as regions - so they dont get counted as counties for such challenges :?by Deepdiggingmole - Miscellaneous
Regarding a challenge involving counties (worldwide) and creating a checker for same are some countries not included ? I have just had a go on a checker where you have to find caches in X number of counties - I did not qualify but the output only listed 11 of the 18 countries I noted that countries such as Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Andorra, Indonesia and Montenegro wereby Deepdiggingmole - Miscellaneous
Thanks - no problem, it is not commonby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I used this checker (https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC42GEN/49278) today - having found over 100 resuscitated caches, this was very useful and I was able to chack it against my own data base and found a few I hadn't noted. However one - cache is https://coord.info/GC38FMM - has shown I have resuscitated this (using the checker), yet the log immediately before mine is the same day.

Another added to the exception list - but why ??? 'Challenge' not in the name, no checker (post moratorium - so should have one, if it was a challenge cache) it's a bonus cache by the looks of it why has, whoever put this on the list, even thought this was a challenge cache :Sby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
The original script output brought up Regions such as South East England NOT counties for the UK However I now notice there has been a change and now shows counties Thank youby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@Vogelbird - sorry that message (from Ground Fox) wasn't there when I first looked at this and I would not have posted my message had I seen it - apologiesby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Checker check :- I have found 20/21 but the checker says fail despite the output saying 'you must find 20/21' output as follows :- "Find at least 20 of the 21 years a multi cache that was placed starting with the year 2000 and ending with 2020." 2001-10-27 - GC2822 Sherlock 1 - The game is afoot! - (Multi-cache) 2002-07-14 - GC70C3 The Cache From Beyond The Grave - (Mulby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
From an outsider (Non-Finland) - I have checked this and not all found counties are in just one country - I have noted that the UK counties (on the output) are our regions - for example Kent is a county which is in South East England region UK only has 20 or so regions but nearly 70 counties So UK would not have enough regions to enable qualification which is why I guess other countries weby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ah - OK can see that now - thought it was similar to the countries one - but not :-)by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
To help @romdes This is a similar challenge involving countries (https://coord.info/GC8D97Q) is this the same idea instead using counties ?by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Just appeared on the Checker exception list Interesting that it is considered NOT a challenge by most voters so far As I was told in a much earlier post - If it has challenge in the title, It is an unknown and has criteria for a challenge within the description, It must be a challenge Personally I don't think that this sort of 'challenge' is a challenge, mainly bby Deepdiggingmole - Challenge checker exceptions
@Murkel Did you want to include locationless caches with this challenge ?by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@Coleclan - thank you - I only asked as it wasn't clear in the OP I wasn't asking for it to be changed - just clarification on the limitation of the criteria @Vogelbird - a bit harsh for what I would say is a valid question now kindly answered by the CO of this challengeby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@coleclan Does this challenge require finds to be solely in states in the US I could qualify using non US states - so just clarifying this thanksby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Yea - I am aware of that - just clarifying :-)by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@R&BSerras that explains it - but as I had noted the code is an old one and would normally fit in with caches published in 2016 which is why it was confusing cheers Timby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The GC code is not recognised ? This code would date back to 2016 is this the right code ?by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ah OK again - thats how I read the original post - didn't want to cause an issue with the challenge but if the cache page says that too - all good Thanks VBby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Ah OKby Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I tried this checker and having found over 100 Wherigos I expected to pass the first qualifier - it s says '0' What is the criteria for the first part ?by Deepdiggingmole - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
