Re: Fibonacci Challenge

Hi, this is Guillermo from the team Willy y Diego.
I am thinking about the "15 caches Fibonacci Challenge".
The challenge is that the geocacher needs 15 types of caches with at least the same number of found / attended that appears in the Fibonacci series: 1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55.89.144.233.377.610.
In my case I got it.

If there is the possibility to create a challenge, then I would hide a cache. ABy the moment I don't have GC code.

Please provide us with a GCcode to attach to the checker which can be used for referrence

At the moment you can used an existing checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA47EB/74689

Lab caches are include and it is for the highest number of steps approved by Geocaching HQ

Hi this is Guillermo.
The GC code is: GCAPR00

For this one, the challenge is only 1 cache before.
This is the first of 9 caches rated from 1 to 5. Every half D rate increases 2 positions in the Fibonacci series.
For D:1,5 you need 2 types, for D2 you need 5 types, for D2,5 you need 13 types, and so on.
Adventure Labs can be included in this challenge?
Thanks.

I read it a few times but it puzzles me what you are saying

Can you give an example of your challenge

This is now my statistics:



The line below, is the substraction between the Fibonacci series and my figures.

By the moment, I am able to get till D4,5 and after a summer trip I will turn the red figures into black.
For the first GCAPR00 the checker must check only one cache found before.
So, I will need (for future GC codes) 8 new checkers.
Thanks for your quick response

I forsee some problems with your proposals
Reviewers do not approve challenges with more then 13 types and you need to have a special script made by a volunteer script writer when you combine D values and types in the Fibonacci sequence

Regarding "Reviewers do not approve challenges with more then 13 types", the D5 will need 13 types (excluding Ad Labs) and the 9 challenges will be:



Is possible to get this 9 checkers?? Now I have 8 hidden containers (9th should have been hidden after my summer trip)

Thanks a lot.

I will move this request back to the request heading for a scriptwriter to make or extent a script

I'm reading it multiple times, and I don't understand. Aside from not approving challenges because of more than 13 types, this might be rejected because it's not easy to understand.

That will be well explained in the listing. e.g.
D1: 1 cache found before
D1,5: 3 different types found before, and at least the most with 2 founds. e.g. 1 letter, 1 mistery and 2 tradis.
D2: 5 different types, and at least: 1st type: 1 founds, 2nd type: 1 founds, 3rd type: 2 founds, 4th type: 3 founds and 5th type: 5 founds.
D2,5: 7 different types and at least: [.....] 6th type 8 founds and 7th type 13 founds.
D3: 9 different types and at least: [.....] 8th type 21 founds and 9th type 34 founds.
And so on till 13 types.
But I think 13 types is not that difficult to get. Excluding HQ and Ape (hard to get), there are mazes, webcams, and (next year) block parties availables, to get 17 types.
The guidelines don't say anything about limit of types.
Thanks a lot to everybody.

Can you explain the significance of the D values

If I'm understanding this correctly you mean nine different challenges, one for each D-rating? So you would need nine different checkers? This would likely have been clearer if you had supplied the requested GCcodes for the checkers.

I have the same impression but I want Willy y Diego to tell us just to make sure'

If this is the case we can use "Different findcount per type" script
https://project-gc.com/Tools/Challenges?edit&addTag&scriptId=5884

Sorry if I didn't explain myself properly:
I need 9 different checkers.
So I need to ask for each new checker on every new GC code; but before I "prepare" the 9 caches in the web before publishing, I wanted to know if this checker is posible to be created. This way, at the beginning I only asked for one GC code: GCAPR00.
If I can get a checker for 15 and 17 types (difficulty 4,5 and 5), I would be very greatful.
Thanks a lot once again

I will assume that https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAPR00/87835 is what you are asking

As for the number of types you really have to ask your reviewer. We can only tell you our experience which I told you before.

If reviewers don´t allow me more than 13 types, would it be possible to hinder the cache with X different countries?
e.g.: D 4,5 13 types and 5 types found in 5 different countries
D 5: 13 types and 10 types found in 10 different countries
Thanks once again.

Yes this is possible with a multitest script

Good evening
After successfully publishing of GCAPR00, I continue with more caches.

I need new checkers for:
GCAFV5K. In this case: 3 types with at least 1 founds for the 1st and 2nd types, 2 founds for the 3rd type.

GCAQEV6. In this case: 5 types with at least 1 founds for the 1st and 2nd types, 2 founds for the 3rd type, 3 founds for the 4th type and 5 founds for the 5th type.

GCAQEVF. In this case: 7 types with at least 1 founds for the 1st and 2nd types, 2 founds for the 3rd type, 3 founds for the 4th type, 5 founds for the 5th type, 8 founds for the 6th type and 13 founds for the 7th type.

GCAQEVT. In this case: 9 types with at least 1 founds for the 1st and 2nd types, 2 founds for the 3rd type, 3 founds for the 4th type, 5 founds for the 5th type, 8 founds for the 6th type, 13 founds for the 7th type, 21 founds for the 8th type and 34 founds for the 89th type

GCAQEW1. In this case: 11 types with at least 1 founds for the 1st and 2nd types, 2 founds for the 3rd type, 3 founds for the 4th type, 5 founds for the 5th type, 8 founds for the 6th type, 13 founds for the 7th type, 21 founds for the 8th type, 34 founds for the 89th type, 55 for the 10th type and 89 for the 11th type.

GCAQEW5. In this case: 13 types with at least 1 founds for the 1st and 2nd types, 2 founds for the 3rd type, 3 founds for the 4th type, 5 founds for the 5th type, 8 founds for the 6th type, 13 founds for the 7th type, 21 founds for the 8th type, 34 founds for the 89th type, 55 for the 10th type, 89 for the 11th type, 144 for the 12th type and 233 for the 13th type..
