Grades recorded.  I don't like the three stooges emoji that he sent me :(  Some reason it makes me paranoid.

I am sorry that you are bothered by it.  The emoji's meaning is kid around or wise guy.  At the beginning of each round, I choose emojis based on grade ranges for that round.  However, if it upsets people, I will refrain from using it.

Just kidding around.  I do get good anxiety with these grading contest but your emoji is enjoyable to see what you come up with.

I enjoy trying to read the tea leaves behind Mike’s emoji response. It’s interesting to know he does pick them based on what our grades were. I would’ve been disappointed if he said they were utterly random.

For the record, I also got the Stooges.

Grading these five books took me very little time. I’m terrified by that.

I got one of those too. Is it better or worse than a 4 leaf clover? I hate trying to interpret these things. I'd do better with Egyptian hieroglyphs.

For round 1, I got this: :manhero: . My score was 5, with one bulls-eye. That looked pretty good to me until I saw how many others got the same grade or less. For round 2, I got :kidaround:. That makes me worry that I did badly or seriously compromised what was a good start. We'll see.

Don’t worry it sounds like all got the same emoji so we are all in the same boat.
