Hi Dlmrose. I didn't have the genre verified, but I was hoping that as the task creator I could verify it for myself (it was there)

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. It would give task creators an unfair advantage. Genres may be verified in the genre verification thread.
Hello,I think not all my points of message 2736 are counted but there is also no message in this problem threat. I should have a total of 490 according to my calculations instead of 465. Am I correct or did I mis-calculate something?

Fair enough. I'll fit it somewhere else

Just FYI, the task has been recorded
If you read an ebook, or audiobook use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardcover edition.
>If there are multiple editions in a format:
From the editions page (click all editions on the main book page)
Set the Format, beginning with Mass Market Paperback
Set the Sort By as "num ratings"
Use the top edition result to determine the page number for ebooks and audiobooks
If there are no editions in MMPB, reset with Paperback and the same sort (num ratings). If there are no paperback editions, reset with Hardcover and the same sort (num ratings). If there are no print editions the ebook or audiobook may not be used for a task requiring a page number
> If the sort results in a Large Type edition at the top omit that book and move to the next record or format.
> If the sort results in an edition in a language other than English the edition SHOULD be used to establish length.

Not a mis-log! So close! Nooooooo.......
Understood, but my goodness, I don't like that rule at all... So someone would have to read all 4175 pages for HP to count? Can I petition to get that rule changed? Just doesn't seem in with the spirit of the challenge to make something impossible. I'm trying to think of any box sets that I would not want broken out into individual books if I wanted to use them for a task...

There are a LOT of other books on the list that would work, however.
