Thank you very much,

Requiring more than one find on any day or calendar date, even if cumulative. Example: find 5 caches for every date of the Finds for Each Day of the Year grid.

Okay, no problem. Before getting deeper into this, would be something like https://coord.info/GC49X7F possible? It is not about the content within the cells. It's about the bingo idea. Is it allowed to build something like that?

Here is one idea, at the moment in German. Sorry for not having it in Englisch atm. As I said: as soon as I know it as allowed, I can translate the cells :) Thanks!

// 1x Fundmatrix // 2048 Funde bester Cache-Typ // 256 Funde auf eigenem Cache // 16 Länder //
// 512x D5 // 16 Bundesländer // 1x Cache mit 4096 FP // 256x Attribut Challenge Cache //
// 256x Attribut Kühe // 1x Event Host // 16x CiTo // 128 Large //
// 128 FP auf eigenem Cache // 16x Webcames // 8x Cache-Typen // 2x Matrix //

Thanks geoPetros. As I said, before working on the cells I would love to know if something like this Bingo is possible. Creating 4x4 rows, collecting one row or col in order to fulfill the challenge. So: is this Bingo technically possible?

Yes, we can support 4x4 Bingos as well.

Sorry, I don't fully understand your request. Maybe another checker creator.

Okay, I will work on 3 different sub-criterias and will come back to you. But not tonight :).

So here we go. Please create a 4x4 bingo checker. Horizontal and vertical lines are allowed. Here are the cells

1st row:
* cell 1: 1x full find matrix (365 days)
* cell 2: 2048x "Found it" best cache type
* cell 3: 64x Events (type "Event", no CiTo, Giga, Mega etc.)
* cell 4: 16 countries (states)

2nd row:
* cell 1: 512x D5
* cell 2: 16 federal states of Germany
* cell 3: 1x cache with 4096 FP
* cell 4: 256x attribute "Challenge cache"

3rd row:
* cell 1: 256x attribute "cow"
* cell 2: 16x D1/T1 Mystery caches
* cell 3: 16x CiTo
* cell 4: 128x Large

4th row:
* cell 1: 1x Block Party
* cell 2: 16x Webcams
* cell 3: 8x cache types
* cell 4: 2x full matrix (81 D/T)

Thank you!

Please note:
1st row cell 4: 16 countries (states) > "states" are not level "country", states = regions
4th row cell 1: 1x Block Party > probably unpublishable as a rare type, available worldwide only for this year

Challenge cache owners must demonstrate that there are plenty of qualifying caches to meet the challenge at the time of publication.

(Giga, Mega, CC, Maze... are rare types – some reviewers published challenges with these types, but HQ appeals team may archive such a challenge. Please ask your local RW.)
