Agreed. Besides, it puts people like Radioclare at a huge disadvantage again, making the challenge more difficult for languages that aren't Spanish/German/French etc. And you'd not hear howling. I'd simply not participate if football didn't count. I'm not the only one who watches a lot of football either - geoffw also did, and he completed the half challenge.

Ah. That's good thanks. So my NHK News reading doesn't count but everything else (short stories, novels) does. Luckily colour coding my spreadsheet makes it easy enough to see that I should lose 192 pages. That's not too bad. I need a kick up the backside to spur my reading anyway. The audio is harder as there's so much of it. But if I count all my audio over that time (which will be a slight overestimate) then I should lose 72h33m. That's easy enough to make up for, so it shouldn't affect whether I get to the end of the challenge. Anyone know if a negative tweet will work? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Wow. I think someone missed this memo.

I think someone missed this post. Also, we can totally do more within the range of what we CAN do anyway but don't always do. In the first week of the original challenge I watched the Italian Serie B for the first time, and my European Portuguese listening was already B2 when the challenge started so I counted only Brazilian Portuguese, and I started watching Brazilian football. (well, it's also because of Forlán :P) In both cases it was more challenging because there was very little familiar content. And pretty much all of you generally watch more movies than I do, at least in your native language or English. It's very natural that I can watch more movies than I would otherwise, but still nowhere near 100 or even 50. I have no desire or interest in watching such an amount of movies.

It picked out the time even in the title "how to learn anything in 20 hours", so I'm pretty sure it'll just add even more hours to your entry.
haha, i missed that! although actually tackles are allowed. you should just be targeting the ball, and not the opponent's leg. and I admit I'm massively uncomfortable with comparing audiobooks etc to subtly mean actions that you can get away with. Anyway, I'm still confused by the new challenge. Does it have to be a complete book? A complete book-item? (50 pages) Does it matter if I repeat the very same text, or can I for example read 50 pages, then switch to the audiobook for the next part, and then continue reading where I left off? Or should it be the same material twice, or even all three times? And is the idea that I shouldn't see the same text again while listening? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

The idea was again - very simple. To see how synergy between two or more media work. My intention was to complete it in one version first, then complete the other, and then go back to the first and complete that. But if doing it in chunks work better for you, that is fine by me. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I've created an infographic which explains what is allowed for the Film part of the Super Challenge, what exceptions are allowed, and what is not allowed. I hope the graphic will help make sense of why X is allowed but Y is not. Cristina has seen the graphic and approved it.
Green is the core concept, each level to the right is one step further away. Orange are the borderline items which people could still count if they want. Red are the things which aren't allowed. I'm still having issues posting images on HTLAL, so if the link above doesn't work, here's a direct link: SC infographic EDIT: I forgot to mention that one thing Cristina was quite clear about is that she doesn't want "5 minutes here and there". So a good measure is that if something you want to count is less than 15 minutes, it's too bitty to count as a "film". EDIT: made some changes to the graphic, but I don't want two versions floating about, so I changed the link on this post.

Thanks Jeffers,
I see mixed messages and would like to be very clearly informed that the news and Yabla clips can count. Solfrid? Someone recently quoted Solfrid saying " it all counts " . This is too much out of context and vague for me. Jeffers your diagram seems to indicate that these things do count. Yet I don't understand whey clips under 5 min wouldn't count. If I only watched 5 min via Yabla then I'd simply wait until i'd watched a more decent amount of clips before logging it all. Either way I've watched the material, what's the problem with snippets? It's video content, it's in my TL... ... confused ... ... confused some more... Solfrid, Solfrid... ? Anyone seen my left arm? Shit where's my right leg... ? Ah... Ahhhhh ! Oh there it is, over on the windowsill, windowsill? Do window sills count? Dammit I have fleas! Edited by PeterMollenburg on 17 July 2014 at 12:16pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
