Just a quick note to let you all know I haven't gone MIA. I have been incredibly busy and plan to update this thread in the coming days.

A few quick replies though...

Cavesa - yes, not a problem to start on Jan 2nd.

rdearman/Cavesa/others - we shall keep the 365 Day Challenge scoring simple (i.e. no changes from last year).

Will update the participants/competitors list as soon as I get a chance... Keep studying people!

Due to my time zone generally being radically different than many of the participants (okay, so I might be on another planet, but I can tell you I do exist in another dimension), I need clarification from all the people above as to your start dates. 'Today' doesn't mean much to me, as I've no idea where other people live and what day and time it was when you posted your message according to your time zone.

Well it was the 3rd when I posted my message, but I sort of assumed one just counted the days one studied for half an hour during the year so it wouldn't matter (especially given the simple scoring system this year).

Can I backdate it to the 1st? I meticulously log everything I do so I know I've met the requirements for the days prior to the 3rd.

Seconds including the hundredths and thousandths. Please. The above means literally nothing to me. You might as well have been writing it in Arabic code mixed with morse code mixed with un morse (walrus) to the power of 7 x Chinese food. :evil:

Edit: It's not that difficult! :x

Clearly you don't understand the rules. I direct you to paragraph 92 dash Z to the power if six donkeys. There shall ye-eth be throned whilst king. Clear enough?
