Nice to meet you Sharon :)

@Ariel nice to meet you as well.

Checking in :-) last time they did this challenge it was lots of fun trying to figure out what that secret number was :-)

Hey Berit, on a team again.

Yeah, I'll need to step up my buddy reading game ;-)

I think we will both have to in order to get to where Wolf is at.

No joke ;-)

Yeah, this is my first time on a serious team so I will try to pull my weight. We have to hit the BR hard!

I will be jumping into a few BRs. I will also post my tbr list if there is anything you want to BR with me. I am free next month except for the 11th and 19th. My finals are those days.

Yeah, I will post shortly. I know Haley and I will be doing some together!

I will be out of the country from 9th to the 17th. I will be reading, just unable to post. I'm going to try and read most things before then

I'm here! All the book I will be reading will be buddy reads except for maybe 1 or 2. This is my first time on a serious team.. little nervous.

Hi Haley, it is okay. No need to be nervous, read at your own pace.

I'm nervous too, I just hope I can keep up with everyone and all of my BRs

So, I am planning on starting with a few short books. I figured it would give me more opportunities to hit more boxes. Haley & I will be starting with the series if anyone wants to join us.

I am also beginning with these short reads that I don't have buddies for yet, so let me know if you are interested. None are longer than 200 pages.

Just waiting for Pretty, and then we are all checked in.

Here is my tbr 2017 list: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I saw you have would you like to read that?

Sure. When do you want to read It?

Anytime will do for me, it's pretty short so I can fit it in anywhere.

How about the 5th?

Sounds good!

Great. Do you want to request the thread, or should I?

Would you be able to? I'm on my phone right now

Sure

Thanks Wolf, you as well!

Good Morning,

I will be a bit inactive today because my sister is getting married so I will be preparing all day with her :) I will be reading here and there, but unable to post!

Adding Tati to your team ☺

Hi everyone!!

Yay, glad to see you here :-) I have a busy weekend, so I will be off to a slow start :-)

I have a busy weekend as well, it's prom today so most of the time I'll be getting ready. Tomorrow I'll be at the beach so I should be able to read a little!

I'm at class now, and the book I'm reading for work has no page count, as it'll only be published next year, I'm reading the manuscript. So I don't know if I'll be able to use it or not, have to check with Sarah

Hi Tati! Nice to be on a team with you again.

Do we have a strategy?

I'm not sure. What do you guys suggest?

I'm trying to think how we did it last time, I think in the beginning we just guessed and spied, because we figured out the big bonus number, towards the end of the month, but they are updating Numbers less frequently this time around....

Sorry I've been so slow, work has been crazy. So they have added the points for one group, seems they are giving us the total, which will be pretty difficult to see what those boxes actually total up to...

Any strategies?

Not sure, I was thinking about it, that does make it much more difficult, I will have a couple more to post tonight, could you tell what each individual got?

Nope, it seems to be once a person hits 7 boxes, they count up the total. I guess the only was to tell what each boxes value is, is if you guessed the same box 7 times but no one will probably do that.

This is how they give you the count to be exact:
Boxes: #25, #24, #75, #5, #90, #45, #55 = 11

So, even if you got the star box you really wouldn't be able to tell because there are 5 boxes that are zero points and 31 boxes that are one point.

It is all coming back to me now, I think it took us until the very end to really figure out what the good boxes were, but we kept a lookout on everybody's thread :-)

So just keep guessing random ones for right now?

Yeah, I think moving forward I will be guessing in doubles. It might help me pin point the value of each number. Which could backfire in my face lol

At some point when we guess the number correctly, we share with each other and then we just put a X and she will know what to count, but we need to message her with that number, at least that's how it worked last time :-)

Right, but I just don't understand how we will figure out the number when there are multiple ways to come up with the total and those numbers could have different values.

I'm just not a math person lol

I suck at logics, so I'm just an innocent reader for this.
