The clock is not included in this project. Is it possible to include a timer ? It will be quite helpful to stay on pace. :)

I assume you are hinting to the timer in the RC questions posted for the project, Timer is not available in competition mode and we are hopeful to bring it in within a few days.

Thanks for your cooperation

Is a prize awarded for every RC passage, or does one need to provide answers for 5+ passages?

For instance, I posted a response to RC1 today and answered all six questions. Do I need to do four more passages or am I done?

There is no special arrangements to get anyone included into, you just need to participate, post detailed explanations of the questions and you might be the winner.

Hi SajjadAhmad,

Ahh, it might be a good suggestion for future but at the moment i think we can have a little discussion on each question's thread. Depending on the numbers of members i can make a separate chat room for discussion if we need it. Right now i am going to release the OAs of yesterday's posted RCs.

Thanks
