Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments I thought I'd double check and sorry if asked before, as I was sure seen answer somewhere but I can't find it now...

For #45. Read 4 books by one of the 2020 FACs

We can all ready from any of them? Or do we have to pick one of the authors we all read from?


Plethora found the answer! 😊

Oh no, I didn't think to check. My team read different authors. Hope that's fine, fingers crossed!

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 525 comments I just came to check since it wasn't 100% clear if they all have to be from same FAC author or just one of them and we all could read a differnt one... So you aren't alone in the query.

I can't promise that I will keep it current - I've done so well up to now, but the team threads and my personal tracking are kept up to date. I will try, but feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Lisa (mooselover) | 2724 comments MK, can I just confirm how this will end.
My team will get its last (?) task Sunday night. Will it then just be a race to the end with any teams on the same task reading for the win, or will you give another task on the Monday ( which wouldn't have been my teams day to get one.). If I understand it correctly, this round ends on Tuesday 9th at midnight.(?)

Let me get some food, and maybe some caffeine too, before I ask my brain to put the answer into understandable words! I will get an answer out today - promise. 😊

MountainKat | 31599 comments ‼️ PLEASE TAKE NOTE! ‼️

With the challenge ending on Tuesday, June 9th, there will a minor change to the last task. Beginning on Sunday, June 7th, when teams post their completions and get a new task, they will all get the same task. For this task, instead of just completing it - you will be earning points for every completed book. In the event that two or more teams are tied based on the number of tasks completed, the team with the most points will win The Amazing Race Team Challenge!

So, is the read-off for just those teams who are have the highest numbers of tasks completed, or do all teams compete for the 'most points' regardless of how many tasks they have read to date?

If it is the first, can a team who is behind by one task, also complete one more task and then read-off for the final task?

The number of tasks is the first deciding factor, after that points. But that can go help determine 5 or 6th place as well, not just the overall winner. Beginning Sunday, every team that completes a task will be given the last task to earn points, I am not sure if a team can make up a task between now and then - it will depend on how the leading teams do I suspect. As long as they maintain the same pace of getting a new task every other day, I can't foresee any changes there.
