The Challenge Checker at https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3JMGC/304?profile_name=huberteff&submit=Filter does not work. The first of the three conditions - best caching day needs more than 222 finds - does not work for me (huberteff), see output below. My best Geocaching day is somewhat above 222 days, yet it says "not achieved":

222 Finds - Not achieved.

It's indeed broken, I will make sure a fix is released later today.
by magma1447 (Admin) (243k points)
It could be replaced by a regular checker nowadays, I guess.
@pinkunicorn It was a few minutes ago. :)
I get:

Error Failed to execute script 5
Hm, something is weird. We fixed the old checker, replaced it with a new, then removed the old. The system has reverted back to the old which doesn't exist anymore. I won't have time to look into it until Sunday. I apologize for that.
Use this link instead: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3JMGC/80628

The old one will be properly removed soon.

Just guessing here since this is for some reason a PHP-checker that can't be double checked but: Does your 222 finds include lab caches? Since the checker is so old it is unlikely that it includes lab caches.
by Pleu (50.3k points)
I’m pretty sure that’s the reason. Labs weren’t a thing when that checker was created.
it may be that labs did exist on my "best" day, but I know that I have at least one other day with almost 300 finds from a time where labs didn't exist.
so this should be a "pass"
I agree, according to "Top caches in a day" your best day has 516 finds and that list doesn't count lab caches. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to search for errors in a PHP-checker so I can't help anymore here. :/
