To meet this challenge, you must find at least five types of non-traditional cache types (icons) and you must find either a certain percentage or a certain number of three of those types.
Category 1, at least 5%, or 200, of your unique finds/attended
Category 2, at least 2%, or 100, of your unique finds/attended
Category 3, at least 1%. or 50, of your unique finds/attended

Thank you for your consideration!

Here is the checker for the numbers option https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3X554/32312

Please test and confirm

Would it be possible to include the percentage portion in the results?

In my mind you'd:
1. Get total finds (i)
2. Get 3 highest non-traditional caches (a,b,c).
3. Then test logic:

if a / i ≥ .05 OR a == 200
"Completed: (a / i) of .05) OR a of 200"
else
"Fail 5% and 200"
if b / i ≥ .02 OR b == 100
"Completed: (b / i) of .02 OR b of 100"
else
"Fail 2% and 100"
if c / i ≥ .01 OR c == 50
"Completed: (c / i) of .01 OR c of 50"
else
"Fail 1% and 50"

Maybe arisoft will know a solution but the current scrips don't handle this

I tagged a script which can handle these dynamic limits.

Unfortinately it does not display the total amounts at all but it should give the correct results anyway.
(Actual limits are visible in the debug output.)

Please tell us whether this is suitable for you.

I see the results in the debug. Now it looks like we need to filter the finds for percentage and count to geocache type:

For instance, I believe the output below should be showing only earthcaches, or multis, or unknown, or virtual, rather than all 4.

However, it might be showing all geocache types that pass the logic of percentage (sine that is true), if so, the results referencing a particular geocache is confusing.

Also, another thing is that someone shouldn't be able to use 1 high percentage to pass all 3 types. For instance, if the above sentence is correct, one could possibly pass all 3 test with one type meeting 5% (since 2%, and 1%) is also true. This shouldn't be the case, the cacher needs 3 different types, using 1 in 5% (or 200), 1 in 2% (or 100), and 1 in 1% (or 50).

"1% or 50"
Earthcache: 2017-05-16 GCQJTA - Barringer Crater Earthcache
Multi-cache: 2017-05-18 GC5M2DT - Culture Cache – Downtown Flagstaff Sculptures
Unknown Cache: 2017-05-19 GC6EKFW - In the Green, like Sunscreen
Virtual Cache: 2017-06-29 GCHHXG - Harry and Mike's Place
Qualifying 4 / 3, PASSED

It may be confusing but the logic should be correct. I could remove details and display only results. Then it is not so confusing.

Could you find some username for an example?

If you wanted to test only % you could use: The Coroner
But he will pass find counts. Looking for another user.
