5,000 Leagues Under The Sea

(view spoiler)[ You've never been one to try to outdo everyone else. No one really needs to go a whole 20,000 leagues under the sea when 5,000 is plenty. You're quite sure after traveling 5,000 leagues that there's really nothing more that would surprise you down there. You've seen all the fish, sunken ships, sharks and mermaids that you could ever care to see in the sea. Just make sure to take some pictures so you can have a few rounds bought for you at the Tavern after you've returned.

Travel 5,000 leagues and take pictures! Reserve a wonderful spot at the tavern for all your stories.

Leagues may be traveled by reading books. To determine the amount of leagues traveled by a single book, round down to the nearest 100 pages, then calculate 2 to the power of the number of hundreds of pages. (Hint: use the xy button on the calculator) (hide spoiler)]

I'm a little lost here, is there a sign up thread?

I was kinda hoping for the stats we got for some of the individual games, though they are a lot a work

Do we know anything about final results?

I just can't seem to find the folders, I was wanting to check if the final stats had been posted, is all

have the challenge folders been archived?

my life is so empty now...

This was a really amazing challenge, and it was a really great first challenge in this group for me! At first, I was concerned about the length and the rules of the challenge, but the time flew by, and my captain and co-captains really helped me with the rules!

So, congrats to everyone! To the mods, for coming up with this challenge, for the captains and co-captains for helping their teams, and to everyone for reading their eyes out!

And, of course, to Kelly, for her amazing spreadsheets!

I don't know if any of my books are banked, but I'll be finishing one tonight that can go for the other language task.

What is Tower Teams?

I'd love to play with all of you again!

My life will be empty when this is over...

Thanks, everyone! She had to have surgery, so we're both spending the night at the hospital.

Hey everyone, just to let you know that I will be offline for most of the next few days, as my mom is in the hospital
