Not sure if some of these already approved or not approved. For Magenta Mixup?

Approved for Magenta Mix-up.

However...



Not approved. Not much magenta on there and we feel, unlike the hard to find colored doors, this one has tons of options.

Will there be an announcement when we can start submitting finished categories for the "2nd round"?

I know we said "which ever comes first" - what is under the spoiler - but we'd like to push this back until July 9th, due to the upcoming holiday week in the U.S. Thanks, Rebecca.

Original post:(view spoiler)[

You may start posting in the JUNE/JULY Challenge: 7% Solution FINISHED Category Posting thread to receive your cupcakes. Please do so AFTER all Teams have completed the first Round, or there is an official announcement to proceed, or until July 1st 9th, whichever comes first.

Captains, please consider:
(view spoiler)[
RULES: You may use any book (NOT used by you during your first time playing) finished between June 1 - July 19, 2013 that fits in any category of 7% Solution Challenge. It may be the exact same book that fits in a slot, if read by another member.

The same restrictions for repeating a category apply. (In other words, you can't do #5 five times, only three. But you can do #2 twice.)

You do NOT need to keep in mind which "Spell-it-Out" letters you have used in Round I.

You will be awarded one cupcake per category, but only up to five categories.

I will make an "official" announcement, if all Teams finish before July 1st. (hide spoiler)]

Just to check, it's only up to 5 categories repeated, and presumably we can only post once all our other categories are posted? And... (sorry!) we get cupcakes rather than BAPs?

Correct on all counts, Claire.

Thank you!

Both approved.

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Could this be used for Magenta Mixup or Mango Tango?



Do either of these have enough pink for Tickle Me Pink?

If you have NOT finished, it is time to start organizing your books and thinking about your categories to submit.

If you are going for those five extra cupcakes, you may post them in 7% Solution Finished Category Posting thread tomorrow.

Just to check, we've got 10 days left, haven't we? (the bit about posting extra categories tomorrow's confused me!)

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Yes, Claire, a little over 10 days left. Atomic Tangerine has five out of seven of the categories done.

For those Teams who want to, they may repeat (starting from a clean slate) five categories (same rules) and earn five regular cupcakes. We asked them to hold off until the 9th to give us time to check the Teams that hadn't finished posting their first time around.

[✿Claire✿]

Ah ok, I didn't realise they couldn't post until now! If we didn't use a category the first time round, can we use it the second?

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Claire wrote: "Ah ok, I didn't realise they couldn't post until now! If we didn't use a category the first time round, can we use it the second?"

Yes, certainly. Even if you used a category three times the first round (#5), you start fresh and may use any category you desire. Same rules apply (i.e., you may not do Category #1 three times, etc.).

[✿Claire✿]

Great, thank you, I'll do that next time I'm near some proper internet! :-)

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Could this be bronze?

[Hina]

[Kate S]

Wild Blue Yonder?

Approved for WBY.

[Hina]

Another question, for the second round in 7% solution for
Mauvelous, we are going with the last Sunday update in June...right?

for team ahead and behind category, we would have:

Radical Red is ahead of us.
Purple Mountain Majesty is Behind Us.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

True, Hina, those are correct. Or you can go with the last update in May, as before.

[Hina]

Thanks

Is that a moon behind the house in this cover?

"

Good questions. (I do NOT like this new "enlarge cover" option by GRs.) I went to Amazon.com and enlarged it and would say, "Yes." Mostly due to the reflection on the water.

Approved for moon on cover.

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Can this be bronze or is there not enough of the tower showing?
(This is for my personal attempt at the 7% Solution Challenge, but still want it to use books that would have officially been counted. I am only 5 books short right now with 3 days to go.)

Yes, definitely approved for bronze.

[Marchioness of Magenta]

I have a question. For #7, the rules state that books with the word "Seven" is accepted. How about the number? Will Area 7 work?
