Winter Challenge 2012-2013: Completed Tasks with ?s/problems
Alice G - post 583Task 20.10 requires you to post in the discussion thread for the book.
AprilDT - post 587Task 25.5 isn't Let's Be Different. I think you mean task 25.3. However, you're missing the REQUIRED: Include the letter count in your post, as in the examples. portion for book B.
Please repost this task with the correct task number and the required information.
Amanda VA - post 593Please list your completed tasks in numerical order from smallest to largest. This makes record keeping much easier. Thanks.
Connie - post 582Please check your totals. I have you at 115 points rather than 125.
Donna Jo - post 588Please check your totals. I have you at 405 points instead of 420. Did I miss a task?

Kristi, thanks for picking that up.

Kristi,
I'm sorry.
I'm still coming up with 420 through post 588(which adding is not always reliable on my part). I'm posting my list of finished tasks with the post number in parenthesis.
5.7 (64)
5.9 (588)
5.10 (525)
10.2 (297)
10.4 (525)
10.6 (386)
15.1 (387)
15.2 (173)
15.3 (525)
15.7 (525)
15.8 (25)
20.1 (430)
20.4 (173)
20.5 (173)
20.6 (430
20.7 (57)
20.8 (173)
20.9 (297)
20.10 (430)
25.1 (297)
25.3 (588)
30.4 (219)
30.5 (388)
30.6 (525)
I show this as 15+30+75+160+60+90=420
I also noticed that in post 297 I didn't have the task number right for 10.2--I just had a 10 and task name.
Donna Jo wrote: "I show this as 15+30+75+160+60+90=420..."Donna Jo, it looks like you are counting the two 25 point tasks as 60 rather than 50 points. Could that account for part of the difference?

Bea, I added them as 50, but can't type or proof-read. I need a (book)keeper.

Thanks for listing all your tasks and post numbers, Donna Jo. I skipped right over 15.7 in post 525 and your listing made it really easy and quick for me to find my mistake. Totally my fault.... ;-) Now we both have the same total and our numbers should match in the next update. Thanks again!

Yay!!! I can understand how that happened--you guys have so many to track. I'm just amazed that my records were right for once.

Hey Kristi,
Yes, I was using Option 1 for task 20.3.
For task 30.6, I linked to the wrong copy of the book.I reposted the task with the hardcover edition in post #687.
Sorry for the confusion.

KSMary - post 689Task 30.9 - I assume you meant to post

Yes it was supposed to be Reached.Sorry I must have clicked on the wrong book and I will repost for task 5.8. Thanks Kristi. I must have been having issues because this book didn't even show up on my " read shelf" LOL I think it was an operator error!!

I've just realised I put an incorrect points total in my last post, #759. I said 150 and it was really only 145. I'm just posting a new task so I'll adjust it there. Hope I haven't caused you any confusion!

Thanks for making it easier on me by letting me know! ;-)
Marie-Anne - post 798Task 15.5 -- Do you have a reference that shows Changeling as a 3 syllable word? If not, I believe The Changeling Sea only has 4 syllables -- The/Change/ling/Sea. And, therefore, would not fit if your name has 5 syllables.
Amanda VA - post 755You've already claimed task 20.8 in post 156.
Jennifer KS - post 801You did't list a task number for the task you're claiming in this post but, from the description, I assume it's task 20.2, correct? No need to repost, just confirm this is the task you meant.

Sorry Kristi! Now I know that not every audiobook has a print edition!
Andy P - post 825Task 20.5 -- There is No Dog will not work for task 20.5. The song title is "There's a Place." The task description states: "contractions in song titles must be contractions in the book titles." You will need to choose a different book for this task.
Megan L - post 848Task 5.5 -- You're still missing the posting requirement for Law Man. Please read the requirements below carefully and repost this task with the required information.

Ready Player One is Ernest Cline's first novel, but he published a book called The Importance of Being Ernest in 2006.
