Questions or problems with completed task posts will be posted here.

If you have questions about your points on the Readerboard:

1. Make sure that the Readerboard has been updated through the post that you are concerned about.
2. Please check your math.
3. 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.
4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and The Rules of the Challenge.

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

Task 15.10 requires a book originally written in Chinese, English, French, Russian, Arabic or Spanish.

If Cats Disappeared from the World was not originally written in one of these languages.

From the default rules: "We treat hyphenated words, including names, as one word. Therefore, John Jones-Smith has the initials JJ, not JS."

Aliya Ali-Afzal therefore is AA and is not a match for an IATA code.

Odette (odman) I made an addition error for total points in my post 292.
The total should be 115 (95+20) not 105
See previous post 248 where total points are 95.
Sorry about that.
Thanks

Thank you! I had forgotten about that guide - I so often use the two for Default Rules and Rules of the Challenge. I needed this reminder! ;)

Hi Jayne, I checked my totals and my count (65) was wrong, but I came up with 75, not 70! I have claimed: 5.9, 10.2, 10.5, 10.9, 10.10, 15.5, 15.7
Can you confirm before I post any more tasks?
