I estimated count by location number 1152 with a location number of short story 47 pages location number 512 x 2 =1024 location
47 pages x 2 =94 pages + 24 to cover rest of location = 115 because this is the first time I every heard of a book without pages I calculated if this disqualified the book I have 2 more books I have not posted yet.

You have plenty of books for this date, but in the future, you will need either a page count or a word count for the boos to qualify. (And honestly, I would need to go find my info on page count to word count equivalencies.)
The book I used for page count calculations is
I will never make this mistake again. Thank you for not disqualifying the book. I read on my kindle it only has location counts.

I'm seeing this with an average rating of 3.93, with over 1400 ratings I can't see it changing that quickly. Can you tell me where you saw it at 4?

It also changed in another edition"
in the rating details it said "This edition:
4.4 average rating, 5 ratings, 1 review, added by 19 people"
Last time you implied check all editions I did>
In first challenge every book I read was disqualified because no romance rating on mpg but I rechecked each book they changed and now qualify. So why cant each rating change and qualify?

I will allow your book, but the rule for this week is the AVERAGE RATING. It is the combined rating for all editions, the one the shows on the book page when you look at the book. I asked where you saw it at 4, because with 1400 hundred ratings, the average isn't going to move very much very quickly. Please use the average rating going forward. I'm checking the ratings as quickly as I can once they are posted to try to avoid any problems.
I have your 4 books through here and you've earned your first rose.
