What card is this for? You have 3. History, but the task quoted is not Card 3. History is the 3rd task on the cards and I'm wondering if that is what the 3 represents.

Sally taylor (sallyjanet) | 326 comments I think this gets me badge 3
I completed card 2, 4, 13, 14 and 24

is this correct?
if so should I go back and change all the books that say 'for badge 3 to say "for badge 4?

Janice (jamasc) | 59875 comments Ignore my message above. I see now it says "Card 14" right at the top. I read that as "Book 14". Sorry for the confusion.

No, you don't need to go back and change books to #4. I will change them on my spreadsheet, give you a list and ask you to confirm that my records agree with yours.
