+30 Task
Task total: 30
Grand Total: 325
Just checked my total on the readerboard (1,550) and note1. there's a +5 for combo 10.4 re post #1,006 (Nichola Reilly)
2. there's a -5 for jumbo (popular ed. doesn't qualify)
So in total, there is nil change to my Grand Total which should still be 1,555?
Sorry for missing those 2 points above, by the by
& thanks, Kate, for catching them :)
