Sounds like a good idea to go for the relaxed attempt, I hope you enjoy it! 

Haha thanks because I make everything a chore for myself so I hope so too. XD

So, for the Spot a Birth prompt, the title has to be from Sci-fi genre?! That's going to be a tough one, like the Botanist prompt I struggled with for last year's challenge.

Also, none of the titles currently in the relevant list for this prompt (https://mydramalist.com/list/4jPQdeyL) are from the sci-fi genre, probably because no one realized the titles had to be from that genre only. I myself added TTEOTM to this list before I got your answer and now I can't remove it for some reason.

oh no, just that prompt not all of them. Birth just has to have a Birth...

Considering block 6  "Main or Supporting character that is/was/training to be a..."

Does it count if the character has/had the mentioned profession? Or does it must to be mentioned that they are/were training to become this profession?
I interpret "is/was/training to be" as "is OR was OR is/was training to be". Is that ok?

Example:
Eo Heung  in Mr. Plankton (2024) is a Doctor but he's already a doctor when we meet him and it's never mentioned in the drama that he was training to become a doctor. But as he IS a doctor I assumed that this Direction's criteria are met for the "Mr. Plankton" Address.

BTW Thank you for all your effort with this one and previous challenges.

It is okay if the main  or supporting character is mentioned to  be a doctor. 

It is ok if the if the main or supporting character has been a doctor (retired, switched jobs) 

It is ok is the main or supporting character is training to be a doctor 

It is ok if a main or a supporting character started to train to be a doctor but quit for some reason 

So it is and or

Can someone please help me with the code hack? I tried several times but the format follows but the columns and rows don't show up. Do I need to add the letters togetherwith the application or the next line? Please help out

4. things to have in mind that may help 

1. Always start with a letter, not a picture not a table when copy pasting. 

2. Restart your browser before copying over,  it may have to much on its mind. 

3. try  switching to a different browser 

4.  Copy smaller chunks at a time again, make sure to start and end with a letter. 


Good luck!

for the tv show prompt in block 2, can it be *at least five episodes* like last year, or does it need to be the whole show?

We did not specify that since there are shows that have fewer then 5 episodes but also those with 100+, we will discuss this in the team and get back to you

Could this be considered as "17. City Lights (Neon lights, lanterns, etc.)"?

Hi! For the first block, there's the drama with less than 10 episodes., as well as one that has 2 seasons. Would I be able to use say Squid Game 1 for the first one and Squid Game 2 as the second one? Or are these considered to be "the same title" even though they show up differently on MDL?


Thank you!

You may use season 1 for the first and season 2 for the second one. We go by titles/pages listed on MDL. 1 page per prompt = 1 season per prompt

Does someone studying Chinese traditional medicine count as a Doctor?

And does a paramedic count as a doctor or a firefighter or neither?

Hi ^~^

Does signage mean basically any sign? I'm not a native english speaker so I had not heard that term. But the definitions I find make me think it could be a road sign, a restroom sign, a restaurant name sign, a brand/logo on a building, a "closed/open" sign, etc. Is that right?
