  1. Tomorrow in class could we please discuss who is exempt from exam #3 and the final blog posts so we have a definite answer?

  2. We won't have a definite answer until the curtain comes down on our game,. But we can get an approximate idea of who's in the race, and begin making provisional plans. To facilitate that, will every group please post your current standings? The exemption opportunities are enumerated in the right sidebar under BONUS EXEMPTIONS.
