Because I forgot to put a page restriction for this quarter, there will be no page minimum. This is for this challenge only. Please do NOT abuse this in other challenges. We will see how it goes and I will decide if we need one for the 2nd quarter or not. If you have an opinion on it, you may share it. I'll consider it.
