Checker for GC5K88F - Has somebody an idea how to create this checker ?

Question

Hello,

 

i like to create a checker for my Challenge Cache.   Die Qual der Zahl > 1024 - Challenge (Silber) (GC5K88F)

The Task ist to cound with yout foundcounts of different cachetyp the number sequence: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024.  in the Listing you find a screenshot, what shows you what i mean, or see the logproofs of the finders.

Every Cachetype is allowed, if is find on the gc profil site unter found caches.  Without LAB caches.
How your order the caches and count ist everybodys own choice.

i don't know how to configurate the checker, it would be greate if there can be used some values /tags to specifiy the numer sequence to create other challenges with mor or less counts ( count up to 2048 oder take other numbers, like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50...)  if it possible.

 

I looked for other checkers that check somethink like this but i found nothing like this.

greetings

Yes like this

The script just count the number of caches and sort them with the most loged types fist. Then it is only to check each requirement from the larges to smallest and use the larges unused type.

 

The only non obvious step is sorting the finds. There exist a nice sorting iterator on this page that i have used many time

It is enabled now also.
After a few test it looks lite the 128, 64 is the number to find. 1024 512 256 can be done easier with trad, unknown and multi.
Other types are rarer and to have found 128 and 64 of any of the is much rarer. 32 and below are easier

Hello Target, Thanks great work.

Yes the high No 256-512-1024  mostly easy with tradi, multi, unknown, and the small No like 1-2-48-16 is easy too.
you right the 32-64-128 is the hard part of the challenge, in our area  i checked 50-80 cachers before publish and only 5-10 get a go. the most need to find more earthcaches, or events or LB/wigs.
