Checker request: GC4EH58 Die Zwillings Challenge

Question

Is it possible to create a checker for https://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC4EH58&title=die-zwillings-challenge ?

Two different caches with exactly the same name (punctuation, upper and lower case, etc.) and different owners are required.

 

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

Answer 1

I have tagged a script which is mostly correct. It doesn't check the distance between caches (I doubt that would be an issue in most cases) and it doesn't count third/fourth finds of the same name, so there will be occasional false readings. I might look into writing a script which matches the challenge better in the future...

Hi sumbloke, thank you very much! That looks great :)

The checker is not fully in accordance with the qualifications.
The distance between the caches is not checked

Sorry for the short comment I try to give it on the mobile phone
But here is the rest

The proper script is "Dubbelt upp"(by lillfiluren) this script shows the distance between the caches but is still no qualification.

The cacher will have to check manualy the results but here comes the problem that the script only shows a limited amount of caches.

In other words the script needs an update for this challenge.

Note: I think the qualification "distance" is very important because when a cache is archieved at a landmark etc. an other owner is placing a cache with the same name almost on the same spot.

Fair call on the landmark issue. I will have to make a script which can handle all requirements.

There is a correct checker made by MikeBi

Can you remove your checker to avoid false possitives

Okay, my checker has been removed.
