The consensus on the point allocations for the tasks seems to be on how difficult the actual GISH Task is.
140. People around the world have squandered billions of hours talking/worrying/complaining about politics. Have an economist calculate the cost to the global economy of these lost hours. They must show their work and be a professor of economics. - read a book with a politician in it
149. A Jackson Pollock paint-by-numbers kit: before, and after it's been painted. Don't try to find an existing kit. Make your own. - read a book with a character named Jack in it
Whichever is the most difficult task should be the most points.

Yea, this one has me going back and forth. It's not that easy, really, to find a Jack; though it seems like it should be easy.
The economist one is also a mind-blower.
I'll decide by tonight. Thanks, Louise!
