whoops - math is hard - apparently i screwed up back around the dec 30/jan 3 post - managed to subtract not add...sooo umm...

this is where i think i screwed up..
post 749 - i subtracted points - it should have been 250, not 225
post 750 - 260 points not 235
post 767 - 270 points not 245
post 835 - 280 points not 255...

can you verify that for me?? (I have a completed task, but i'll hold off posting until I get my math figured out)

Thanks for catching this, I will repost. Just realized I could have verified all those posts actually showed up on the site instead of making you do it!

Post 848 was a repost of post 631. The only thing that was changed was that I added a NF ticket to my total. The points for Task 30.1 were already in the total because they had been added from post 631.

My records show that as of post 950 I have completed
One 5 point task (5.7)
Four 10 point tasks (10.1, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8)
Four 15 point tasks (15.1, 15.6, 15.7, 15.10)
One 20 point task (20.4)
Two 25 point tasks (25.4, 25.5)
One 30 point task (30.1)
Total 205 points

I did put "REPOST to add It's a Fact Ticket (original post #631), nothing is being unclaimed." at the top of post 848. If that wasn't the proper way to do it, please let me know what I should have done differently to avoid this confusion.

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like I missed an update on my side at 798. 😳 My latest post is 1047, so everything through that will be off by 10 points, but I've updated to the correct total for moving forward. At least until I mess up again. 🤣

The book James Herriot's Animal Stories by James Herriot does not meet the task requirements.
Book A: Read a book with a four-legged animal’s tail on the cover (no birds or fish and must be a real world animal, not mythical). There must be enough of the tail to be recognizable.

I do not see a tail on the cover.

I noticed that you have 230 points for me up to post 1100. I should only have 215 points and then 220 points after post 1175. You have it correct in the alphabetical list but incorrect in the list in order of points. Thanks for taking a look at this!

Melanie Schroer | 92 comments Good morning!
I noticed on the most recent Readerboard update that I (Mel S) am listed as having 185pts. According to my records, I should have had 190pts (5.1, 5.5, 5.8, 10.1, 10.6, 15.1, 15.2, 15.9, 15.10, 20.6, 20.10, 25.1, 30.2) as of Jan. 15. Would you mind taking a look?
Thanks so much!!

Apologies, my error, it was on my spreadsheet, but not on my wall chart (a little obsessive in my management of various challenges!). I will look into it today and let you know what if I can reallocate one or the other.

First, please let me thank you for all the work you're doing to keep the challenge running smoothly!

And, of course, there's something else. I have my running total as 690 @ message 1072. I've checked, and believe that is correct (I have 3 tasks left 50 + 20 + 15 = 85; 775 - 85 = 690.)

Would you be so kind as to check also?

Thanks!
