I will be editing the scoreboard post as soon as I submit this post, so if you have reported a score and I did not update it, please let me know (do give me half an hour or so). Below are a couple of discrepancies. I hope neither of you are offended that I posted this in the thread; my goal is for everyone to have a reminder of how we are scoring this year.

I'm coming up with one more day than you are. The days should be inclusive, which would give you a total of 27 days. Please let me know whether you actually started on 1/6, or whether the days studied or days missed should be adjusted here! For now, I'm going to go ahead and record the score as you calculated it (it would be correct if you actually started on 1/6.)

Really petered off towards the end of the month but getting back into it. I knew it wouldn’t be great though, so just concentrating on the fact that I did do some study.

Remember that you get -1 point for each day that you did not study. The way you have it calculated would be if you get 0 points for each day that you didn't study. Instead, it should be 24-7=17


Finally, my updated scores for myself:
