It's been such a crazy week I haven't even looked at the coming possible challenges! Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to match something quickly. Good luck, everyone!

Is anyone else starting now? I'm trying to decide if I should try to read something fast or not worry about it till later since we are unlikely to beat the super fast procrastinators?
