Spring Challenge 2014: Task Ideas

[Claire]

The hemisphere begins to warm significantly causing new plant growth to "spring forth," giving the season its name.

Read a book with orange, red or yellow on the cover.

Read a long book (500 pages+)."

Always good to encourage longer books in reading contests :)

Read a book written by a famous author under a pseudonym. Examples are "Candide" by "Dr. Ralph" (Voltaire) and "The Running Man" by "Richard Bachman" (Stephen King)."

OR read a book that was published under or mistranslated to a different title.

Just a silly question.. Am I losing it or will there be a task 25.7 - 25.10? This might not be the right place to ask but didn't know where to put it :)

No, you're not losing it. ;-) The number of 25-point tasks depends on the number of people who finish the previous challenge. We had a total of 14 people finish the Winter challenge--8 of them before the cut off for 30 point tasks and 6 of them between the 30 point cut off and the end. So, there are 8 30-point tasks and 6 25-point tasks for the Spring challenge. Each challenge varies in the number of 30 and 25 point tasks. It all depends on how many people finish the challenge before.

So, all the 25 point tasks have been posted for this season. The only task that will be added is the 50-point task, which will be designed by the person who has the highest points at the midpoint of the challenge (April 15) and that does not already have a task in the challenge. The 50 point task will appear just after the midpoint (say April 18th, or so).
