I'm not a Maths teacher either - but I work with a LOT of spreadsheets! They do the hard work for me :)

A Caribbean Mystery is not non-fiction so your IAF ticket claim is not accepted
Mod
Please check your maths! You had 625 pts in post 1571, then in post 1672 you claimed a 10pt task but state your score as 605 ...
I believe you are currently on 710!

Kathy KSI believe my ticket counts have been mis-assigned.
According to my records I should have:
2 NF tickets (messages 138, 1628)
2 BB tickets (messages 554, 1152)
You have 1 NF & 3 BB
Mod
I'd just spotted that too! It was my error in post 1628! Corrected in my master sheet & will be correct when the readerboard is next updated

Susan Stafford is NOT listed as one of the chasers in option 1
Option 1: The Chasers featured on the show so far were Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, James Holzhauer, Brandon Blackwell, Victoria Groce, Buzzy Cohen and Mark Labbett. Read a book written by an author whose name matches one of these geniuses. It can be the first or last name and can appear in any position (Henry James for James Holzhauer as an example). The name must match exactly (Ken, not Kenny or Kenneth). If your book has multiple authors, they ALL must share a name with one of the Chasers.
Required: Identify the name of the author and the Chaser who shares the name in your post.
Mod
You did not link the book
Mod
Check your maths, you had 195 pts in post 1610, then 30pts claimed in post 1801 should give you 225 ...

Please check your maths: you had 245pts in post 1875
+ 20 = 265 not 285!
(As of post 1900 I believe you have 455 points)
Mod
Please take care to list the correct task number - I worked out that this was task 50.1 but when there are hundreds of posts to go through, it helps if I don't have to figure things out!
No need to repost
Mod
I have you listed as 30pts not 20pts
post #134 - task 5.3 - but this was invalid as it didn't meet the criteria & I believe you meant to post as task 5.1 which you posted in post 617 using the same book
post #1344 - task 5.5
post #1738 - task 5.2
post #1866 - task 15.8

I see what happened. Something happened to my post for 20.7 and it somehow isn't on the page, even though I remember typing it up. I'll go add that one in now and make the final total with that added as the 475.

Ugh! So Sorry! I'm usually really good about my copy and pasting and making sure I change everything over.

Task 30.5 requires one of the books to be non-fiction, both The Paris Apartment & Apartment 303 are fiction

I've credited 25.1, let me know if that is incorrect ...

Tales from Watership Down has MPG Childrens.
Please review the rules for books with children listed - Default Rules
You need to post the ARBookfind entry for any book with MPG Childrens
Mod
Don't forget to include your readerboard name in your post, we have several Amanda's participating in the challenge
My readerboard total seems to be 50 points short compared to my records. I can't see a post here about a problem, so I wonder if my 50 point task was missed (#2236)? Or maybe there is a problem I am missing? Not a major issue at this point, just wondering.
Update to my message #76: I have a math error in my total, so please disregard. I still do not have the same total you have, but I don't think it's worth pursuing. Chalk it up to jet lag on my part.
JenJ IAIt looks like I have 40 extra points in the most recent Readerboard update (to post 2500). My records show 640 points, not 680. I did recently remove 30 points, so maybe that is part of the issue.
