Please confirm
for book 1. The book I had slated for it turned out not to work after I had read it. If I might say this, I hate TinEye tasks, especially ones that have such a high requirement. Could we consider lowering it to 70% or less, in the future? I had multiple options between 74.1 - 74.9%, but maybe it's just me who has trouble with these tasks.
