Non-Reading Challenge - MMC 2024
date
newest »


How It Works:
The story will continue with a different task to complete each day. Some days may be posted in advance, you can still complete these the day they are posted.
When you think you know the answers(s), simply send me a personal message making sure to let me know which day's task(s) your answer(s) are for.
I will then send you a message back, letting you know how many you guessed correctly, and which ones you got wrong.
If you get an answer wrong, don't worry, you have three chances to get it right. If you think you've found the right answer, simply message me again ☺
All tasks will remain open until the challenge ends at 00:01 on July 31st 2024.

★ Tasks will be posted daily or will be posted in advance.
★ Tasks are open from the time they are posted until the challenge ends.
★ Answers should be sent via personal message to me. Please include both the question and answer so I know which task you're completing.
★ Please be careful to spell answers correctly, or link me to the book, otherwise, I might not realise that you have the correct answer.
★ Once I have read your message, I will reply to you to let you know how many tasks you have answered correctly. (Please be aware that you may not get a response right away, partly due to time zones, and partly because there will be a lot of things going on ☺)
★ If you answer one or more descriptions incorrectly, you do have up to 3 chances to answer correctly, simply send me your second guess, and/or third.
★ Answers posted in the thread will be deleted, and the person who posted them will be disqualified.
★ This is a non-reading challenge, you do not need to read anything for this challenge, you simply have to find books which complete each task.
★ This challenge will end at 00:01 on July 31st 2024, Pacific Time - https://greenwichmeantime.com/time-zo... Answers received after this time will not be counted, so please be sure to send in your answers before this time. Do not worry if you sent your answers in but didn't receive an answer before the end of the challenge. As long as your message is sent before this time, it will count ☺
★ Winners for this challenge will be announced on July 31st, which is the day before the results for the overall MMC. Points for this challenge will count towards your overall MMC score.
★ There is no need to sign up for this challenge, simply send me your answers when tasks are posted ☺
★ Feel free to use this thread for chatting and questions ☺
(Just don't post any answers here x)

No, that's not normal, I'll try to work out what's going on!

No, that's not normal, I'll try to work out what's going on!"
okay. thank you!
For some reason my settings had gotten changed to only accept messages from friends so I've changed it back to anyone. Hopefully that will solve the problem. Sorry! ☺

Just because people are asking, I just wanted to let you all know that you can answer tasks as soon as they are posted, you don't have to wait until the correct day, and all tasks will be open until the end of the challenge ☺
Just a quick tip, for Task 13 you are looking at the number of ratings, not the average rating. So, for example
-

Has an average reating of 3.88, over 584 ratings.
For Task 13 you''ll need to be looking at this number in grey - the number of ratings x

I was wondering the same thing....
Also curious if they have to be YA for the cover pictures....
Books haven't necessarily been read on the group unless it says that in the description. I got rid of all the old rules about books having a buddy read on the group or being YA a couple of years ago, because I was having issues with accidentally re-using books 😂
Jamie, I'll discuss with the other mods about hints because currently I haven't prepared any x

would love some hints on those book cover ones :) So impressed to those who figured it out :)
I will now provide hints for people on the cover pieces tasks if they need them (including if you've already had your 3 guesses on a task). If you get the answer correct after asking for the hint, you'll get half the normal points. So #8 will be 4 points, and #15 will be 7 points.
You can request a hint by sending me a message ☺

I've entirely given up on #8. I feel like Google image search used to be good but now it just gives me a bunch of ai returns with similar vibe to that artwork. Apparently an exact match doesn't exist! For #15 I'm looking at lists for books at Las Vegas because I think that's the reflection of a neon light. I also went to my library and skulked around the mystery section just based on the colour theme (no luck yet, hope you find it).

I know, I didn't move them there yet so that when you did answers for 15 and 20 I didn't forget to add those points to the last table 😂
