The Super Challenge - discussion thread 2018/2019

When can we expect the SC results webpage to adjust and display the current SC results only? I’m getting a little impatient. Sorry, I do sincerely appreciate the work/effort put into to such things, I’m just really itching to follow the ‘leaderboard’ accurately and watch the results of my language learning efforts as they have an effect on my standing. It’s motivating dammit!

Yes, this is basically a scheduling problem. EMK has one piece of the puzzle and I have the others. Both of us work and we're in different countries, so it is a matter of finding some time in which we're both free to join up all the pieces. It will be soon.

3. Does The Holy Koran count?

3. Yes, why wouldn't it count? Depending on the formatting you may be able to count each page as 1.5 or even more. Feel free to post a scan/photo of a sample page.

There, please look at the attachment.

Well, the Japanese text can definitely count as double compared to the Arabic one, maybe even more. Any input from other learners?
To me this looks like 1.5 pages of Japanese and half a page of Arabic, but it's hard to judge.

Agreed with the Japanese, looks like approximately 1.5 pages Can't judge the Arabic though.

Any help would be appreciated.

So I tried tweeting different combinations of words, like e.g.:

@langchallenge just watched a #movie

@langchallenge just #watched a #movie

Nothing shows up on my page (0 movies). What am I doing wrong?

Pretty sure you have to include a hashtag for a language as well.

For example I've done something like @langchallenge #es #watch for spanish

Looking for opinions on how to count these pages. 1/3rd? 1/5th? I mean, not that I'm doing a Russian Super Challenge or anything.. :whistlingandlookingsuperinnocent::

Thanks for your answer, but someone else up in the thread said that you don't have to include a hashtag, when you are had registered only for one language

PM me with your twitter user name and I'll check the database. However, I don't see anyone registered with the name you're using on the forum, so it is possible that you're registration tweet wasn't accepted. I would have to check the source code to see if it you do have to include the language hashtag, but it can't hurt.

That someone was me. If you look at my account it works quite well: tiia's Super Challenge

The last film/audio tweet was: @langchallenge I #listened 1 min called "1st minute".*
As you can see in the link above, the tweet was recognised.

I've only used the #watched #listened and #read hashtags so far and always defined the minutes/pages explicitely, but never the language (after the registration). Maybe you could try one of those other hashtags instead of #movie? I remember there had been a problem with the #book hashtag during the last challenge, when #bo was used to mark Tibetian. I think that problem was solved, but it may be worth trying #watched or #film instead of #movie.


*deleted one useless/wrong word of the original tweet.

edit: @demri: I think I found your twitter account in the list. Or at least I found one, that really fits your description. (I looked at all the accounts registered for the specific language without any entries and eliminated all accounts that had also registered for other languages. Then there was exactly one left.) So different hashtags (#watched and #movie) have already been tried out.
It should have put the title of the movies as "Unknown", as you forgot to put " " around the title. But otherwise I don't really see, why it's not taking your tweets.
