Please post tasks in task number order
Did I miss a rule about when 30 point tasks have to be finished? I didn't think there was a rule detailing time constraints.
Mod
In terms of the current challenge, you have until the end of the challenge to finish any and all of the tasks. The earlier date is to be eligible to create a 30 point task for the spring challenge. People who finish the winter challenge by midnight tonight are eligible to create a 30 point task for spring. People who finish later, up until the end of the challenge, are eligible to create a 25 point task.

Nope, that's what I have. And I went back and checked my math and yeah, I have no idea where the extra 15 points came from. I AM about to post the last 15 point task so I'll just keep my total the same. Thanks for checking!

It was not a LARGE print book. It was a larger print than normal. Here is a scan of one of the pages
.If you still think it is large print, I will accept your decision and will let the BB ticket go...but in my view, this was not the LARGE print usually meant by that term.

Larger print = more pages for the same amount of text. However, as I said in the original post, you just needed to check to see if any of the "regular" editions exceeded 500 pages. I checked for you and most of the editions are 500+ so you will get a BB ticket.
