MountainKat | 31598 comments Team 17 and Team 1, I assigned your next task but didn't check your completions. I will try to get that done tomorrow.

I will be checking my phone for other teams throughout the day as I will be away from my computer.

Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 2042 comments Kat, for our new task the direction seems to be in error:

Task 23 - 118. Read 8 books with an average rating under 4.2 AND under 2500 ratings.

Books selected for this task need to have an average rating under 4.2 AND less than 2500 rating (not reviews). You can find this information on the main book page under the title. Please include the average rating and number of reviews in your completion posts.


Shouldn't the last line read number of ratings instead of reviews

Yes, you are correct. I will edit that as soon as I can.

message 420: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31598 comments OK - I believe I am current with all the completions checked and new tasks assigned. Please let me know if I have missed something! I'm trying to get things caught up, finished up and packed up before I leave tomorrow.

And on that note, I will be on a plane most of the day tomorrow. I will be prepped to do things on my phone when allowed, but I am not sure what or when that will be. I will be able to check in before my flight in the morning, but it could be a while before I get back online. And then I will be visiting family until after the challenge ends. I will do my best to stick with my usual of checking in in the morning and again before bed at the minimum. 🤞🏼 They do tend to keep me busy though and adjusting to different time zones is never quick for me.

MountainKat | 31598 comments Hey teams, can I ask you all a favor?! For the next day or so, I might only have internet access on my phone. So, if you would please add when you are eligible for a new task in your completion posts here, that would be super helpful! It would save me from bouncing back and forth to different locations on my phone to try to figure it out.

(It doesn’t help that I seem to forget what I just looked at as soon as I see something else! It has been several long and tiring days in a row.)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1064 comments Hello MKat!

I hope your trip is going well. I just was wanting a reminder of how it works if there is a tie at the end. I can't remember if it was this challenge or a different one that ended in a read-off, and if it is TART, how does that work?
