1. Please check your math first!
2. Check to see if one of your posts is listed in this thread with a question. If so, please make a NEW POST in the Completed tasks thread to clear up the question. DO NOT go back and edit the original post. I will not go backwards in the completed task thread to pick up points.

Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.

Monkeytoe- post 39

Task 15.6 is Speak English not Mind the Gap. Your book fits 15.6 Speak English, but would not fit 15.5 Mind the Gap. You may need to update your records. I have your post recorded as 15.6

My totals don't seem to match the readerboard. What I show on my end is:

msg 4 = 5
msg 18 = 15
msg 37 = 25

Total = 45 not the 25 that is showing on the readerboard. Thanks

Sorry! Fixed

Thanks so much Donna

My total should be 90 on the readerboard, as I updated twice between posts 150-200, once at 182, and again at 196. I thought you might still be updating, but I noticed it was edited 9 hours ago, so I thought I'd let you know.

Thanks. That total is right on.
