Challenge Corner discussion

If you have any questions about the challenge - please write them here.

Q: So if you read a book for first bracket and don't finish that week and it gets bumped out, can you reassign the book to a movie still in play? Let me know if that doesn't make sense lol
A: Yes, for example:

Let's say you read The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. It could work for either 101 Dalmatians - dog on cover OR it could work for Pinocchio - male author.
Depending on whichever movie moves to the next round, ya know?

Q: I don't really understand the SS. What do all the drop-down arrows indicate?
A: So for Movie, Category, and Reader rows 3-500 are a drop down menu. I figured it would be easier to pick the movie, the category that fits for said movie, and then pick yourself for reading that said category.
Since everything is repeatable throughout the week until the movie and categories get removed. So if Pinocchio loses after the first week, then that movie and it's categories will no longer be available to pick.

Q: So, we can pick whatever category we want for whatever movie we want?
A: No, you need to pick the category that fits the movie. Each team's spreadsheet has a hidden tab for the movies and categories.

Q: How do you know which category fits which movie?
A: The hidden tab tells you what categories go to what movies.
**The tab for movies is no longer hidden on the team's spreadsheets so that it avoids confusion.**

Q: How do you find the most rated edition of a book? Every edition I click on for a book has the same amount of ratings/reviews.
A: When you click "more editions" we use the top most book.

Q: Can we use a book for this challenge that we started in February?
A: Only for page points. So please let me know how many pages you read in March. Unless you restart the book this month, then you can count it for a category.

Yes ma'am. It's just easier for us mods to verify page counts when doing scores and such. :D

Oh great, thank you :)
