As we approach the homestretch, I think we're starting to see a little "challenge fatigue". I know I am. So, if everyone could please carefully check their totals against the Readerboard, that would be great. As a new Moderator, I have to say thanks to everyone who has been patient and careful and made my job easier!
Now let's go read a book.
Group Heads UpKathy P - off 5 pts (1623) added 30 on a 25 pt task;
Tien is off 145 pts for problem tasks;
JUKKA off 10 pts - probably added twice,
SHEMAC - off 5 points, 1640 was a 15 pt task, not 10.
Mary PDX post 165030.4 - Option 2: Author whose name contains all the letters of MURALS
Sarah Ready does not meet this requirement. (Maybe you were looking for the initials in the word)
