Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks
As of the most recent update, my total seems to be 5 points off and I haven't been able to find what the problem could be. It was accurate as of the previous update. My records show 305 and the readerboard shows 300 as of the new update at #1350.
Mod
Found it. I incorrectly marked down a 15 point task as a 10 pointer in my sheet. I'll get that fixed with the update later today. Sorry about that!

Kathy KSWith newest update everything is OK, EXCEPT I should now have ZERO Big Book tickets.
I unclaimed and updated stats on message 1447. I will reclaim the ticket when I use that book.

Julia103I'm still short one It's A Fact ticket. The Readerboard thru post 1600 shows 3. I have 4: posts 612, 789, 1376 and 1576. (Not sure whether you missed 1576 or still missing 1376.)
Thanks for looking into this.

Yep, I missed 1576. Thanks for tracking it down and sorry for the oversight - this week has been a lot so my brain's been somewhat all over the place. I'll get that fixed for you now.

Sorry, it was supposed to be 15.6. I posted a new one, hopefully that's fine.
Hiya,my record on what points / tasks I've claimed is currently awry from those reported on the readerboard.
I think I've claimed:
5 points : tasks 3, 5 = 10 points
10 points : tasks 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 = 80 points
15 points : ALL tasks = 150 points
20 points : 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 = 140 points
25 points : ALL tasks = 175 points
30 points : tasks 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 = 180 points
for a total of 735 points. The Readerboard indicated 715.
Can you let me know if it's a my end problem I need to fix? Thanks!

I don't have a record for tasks 10.8 and 10.9. Bear in mind that the current Readerboard snapshot (at time of writing) only goes up to post 1650, so if they're beyond that point then I won't have them logged yet. Unfortunately I'm further behind than I would like to be - I promise I am trying to catch up!
Edit: found them. I hadn't caught up to that point, they'll be counted in the next update.

Your copy of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar...: Understanding Philosophy through Jokes has no page count listed and no other editions available, so I can't verify that it meets default SRC rules. Please ask a librarian to add a page count here.

I checked on this one and discovered there are 80 versions of this one listed in GR. Unfortunately, this one was on an unmerged record. They should all now be on the same record and you should be able to find an appropriate match! Enjoy.
Don't forget to repost!

Could you please ask a Mod to check the Not for Kids thread and verify the books I have posted there? I've already been waiting more than 2 weeks for this to be done and the end of the Winter Season is fast approaching.
