This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

question about the challenge

Bohan   May 13th, 2011 5:12a.m.

Up until now, I've been doing at least 60 minutes a day, ever since May 1st. This weekend is going to be a little busy, but I'm determined to make it through this challenge.

My question is, can I study only 5 minutes tomorrow and Sunday, so that I meet the "25 consecutive days" requirement, so long as my average daily studying turns out to be 60 minutes per day , by the 25th day ?

The challenge is really 25 hours in 25 days - you can skip days entirely if you need to.

but then why does it say "for 25 consecutive days" in bold ? I'm wondering if it's 25 hours in 25 days, but that there must be at least some studying every single day during the 25 days

In a post on May 2nd Nick mentioned that you could skip some days and make up for it on other days. He takes a period of 25 consecutive days and you need to have 25 hours of skritter time in it.

In that case I actually have a chance at the challenge... now that I've got my company registration FINISHED and can spend some quality time studying Chinese (instead of merely using it).

YAY for the translation company registration - congrats again my dear green dot.
