The Amazing Race Team Challenge - Round 2 - Tracking/Q&A/Announcements

[D.G.]

Hi Kat - Is the first task same as Task 49 (Each teammate reads a book published in the same month and year, teams decide.) I thought not (because you picked the year and we had to select the month) but a teammate thought it might be? ;)

Also, would "athlete" count as a profession right? (I'm thinking that way folks could pick their favorite type instead of all having to read about hockey players, hahaha!)

For the first task given to every team, the team needed to select a month in 2019. For #49, the team selects a month and year - can be any month in any year.

Athlete would be ok for a profession.

Thanks!! That's what I thought. :)

For author that writes under more than one name, would this be enough? DiscontentedWinter author page The bio states "See also : Lisa Henry" Disregard, JaneyLou is better at finding things than I am and found the proof 😂

After following the links to confirm, yes that works.

If it is listed as a numbered series on GR, it works.

If you can link to it, it shows the other names and I can get to it without joining a group, then yes I will accept that.

MKat - this is probably a stupid question, but I just wanted to be certain, but with this task-

15. Read a minimum of 600 pages in books with an audio edition

Is it 600 pages each or 600 pages total as a group?

Yes to both. Much harder to see on the second, but when I zoomed in it was there. 😊

Sorry, posts overlapped and I didn't reload the page...

It is 600 in total. But every teammate needs to participate in the task or take the pass.

Hey all - grandson's first birthday party starts in a little bit so I won't get to your completions until later. He's one, it's on zoom, and we aren't driving anywhere so it shouldn't last too long!

So ready to end this year... 😢😳🤬
