Question

Challenge checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges//27157 does not Include GC7PD24 for ID TheView

Answer 1

That checker looks for finds on the anniversaries of the cache being hidden. You found that cache on the day it was hidden, not on an anniversary of that date.

Comments

Did not realize the checker was looking for an anniversary date although I was advised earlier that FTFs will not be included. So the Find has to be at least one year later on the Hidden date. That makes the Challenge more difficult and therefore more challenging. I like it. Thank you.

I think at least part of it is because every event type of cache would be getting logged on the day it's officially hidden.

I don’t have a problem with the way the Checker works, however I think anyone who finds a geocache on the Hidden date, excluding Event Type geocaches, would be ok. In many cases, our Reviewer Publishes the geocache after the Hidden date. This means anyone Finding the geocache on the Hidden date would have to wait at least one year for the checker to qualify the find. I realize this is probably not the usual case. Thanks for all the time you programmers spend on Checkers. The time saved to geocachers is enormous.
