Btw just something I noticed in the Aug sheet and wanted to bring to your attention - when you log pages in the excel, please don't enter your individual total directly below your page counts in the same column. Cos that column is validated to calculate the team total on the top of the page, so if you do that, then it takes your individual total into the sum as well and that throws off the team total. If you do post your own totals, do so in a different column from the page count, preferably directly below your UN. I know the team captains are already taking care of this, but just thought I'd say it anyway cos the issue did arise in the August sheet.

Sure Lizzie, will keep an eye on this.

Don't worry about my team(s) making this mistake, their ever overthinker leader made this error, realized it, found the alternate column solution and since two months both my teams haven't caused this ouchie😎

And I think we have all adopted that column solution Lol when I calculated team total for Lexophile Dosts, it was 51K odd I was a little surprised and calculated them individually, it was way less.

Yep I noticed that too and was over the moon for a minute thinking my team had won

Mera ulta hai

I was a bit confused since I saw Parm & Shibani logging 22K ~ pages between them, but wondered how did LD have 51K pages

I'll be more careful next month and check the sheets to make sure.

Btw, what do you guys think about doing a book bingo challenge in any of the coming months ? 👀

We haven’t had a group activity yet, so I thought this could be a fun one

Where all would work together to complete the bingo as a group .

(I’m attaching a pic for reference)

This sounds amazing! We could have this for the whole team maybe? Need more ideas on this
