Thank you

I made a checker cause it gives a guide to cachers that they qualify but it is posible that some cachers will get a false positive as Target. explained.

 <<< WARNING >>> The checker can give a false possitive due to the fact that some Unknown Challenge Caches are real puzzle caches. - Der Prüfer kann ein falsch positives Ergebnis geben, weil ein Unbekannte "Challenge" Cache ein Rätsel Cache kann sein.

Hi Vogelbird. I understand that the checker checks for upper case names only. Is that correct?
Could you edit this to lower case, too? Or is it not possible?

I think, most of the challenges i solved had their name in lower case or even (german style) written as "Challenge"

Thanks in advance.
The checker should detect all of the challenges

The last cacher qualified with this result:

I have used [Project-GC](http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4WXXJ/18894 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if I qualify for this challenge and I do.

I would say no.
The requirement is
"Das Wort Challenge im Cachetitel enthalten und eine vor dem loggen zu erfüllende Aufgabe fordern.."
Google translate says
"contain the word Challenge cached title and call for to be fulfilled before the log object."
The second sould likely be translated to: "and demand that some task has to be completer before you are allowed to log the cache.
That mean that it is a challenge cache according to http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=206

The word challenge in the title is no problem. The other part is because new challenge caches has to have the word challenge in the title but there is no rule that non challenge caches are not allowed to have the word challenge in the name.
There are unknown cacher with the word challenge in the title that are not challenge caches and a checker cant understand the difference.

That is if my translation is correct else it might be possible
