I think there was just a math issue somewhere. I had you more than what you were claiming as your total on posts. It looks like our totals match now, so math must have been corrected.

I did click on the link however it took me to the homepage. When I put in the image address from Goodreads it doesn't show white. Which image did you use to get the 73 percent white

I used the image from the books MP-not sure why the link is not taking you to the page that shows 73% white. It is only 5 points so I am not concerned about it-however if this happens to someone else it could be a problem down the line. I am not sure what the fix on it would be but I think it needs to addressed if we are both using the same book cover and getting different results. I will find another spot for this book so don' worry on my part.

I was just curious. you don't have to move it. Sounds like we need to find a good way to make sure this doesn't happen. I will add the points for this on the next update.

It may have something to do with different computers. I noticed in the help thread for task 5.8 that posts 9 and 10 had two different results for the same book (one had the background as grey and the other as white).
