Thanks for letting me know. I'll probably move it to 5.10. It's an older book and definitely not a children's book, but not on AR.

CYNBAXTER - post 1345Task 10.2 requires a book set set at least 50% in one of the countries listed.

Yes I get it I got confused by the reference to numbers between 1 and 31 as dates and improperly assumed that 29 worked because it was a number within that range. Back to the search for a proper book.

Karrie - posts 13698, 1370, 1371Welcome back to the Challenge! Some things have changed since you were here last.
Please review the Posting Requirements and repost your tasks including: 16. Include an up to date total of points in your post. (For purposes of Moderators' Pet, math errors will be forgiven!) You may also include a ticker if you choose to use one, but that will not be sufficient - your total must be stated separately, in numbers!

1.2 % #995b22 Brown
0.7 % #584d1f Brown

Orange only adds up to 34.9% so this book will not work for this option.

To get the percentages you included in your completed task post, I think you skipped this step:
• Scroll down and uncheck the boxes that say "Exclude background color from extracted colors" and "Exclude interior background color from extracted colors,"

Can I argue about this being a "Childrens" book. I don't understand how it is shown on the Main Page because when you click on "See Top Shelves", Childrens isn't even listed at all!
