I'm finished with this challenge and ready to move on to something, anything else.
31 Maxed Skills = 31,000
5 Skill Points = 250
49 Skill Challenges x .05 = 3.45
Total (31,000 +250) x 3.45 = 107812.5
That's assuming I didn't fail because I was gifted a Group Science Project in my inventory when I maxed the Science. I thought that just using it was offlimits, but I was reading the general rules and noticed this about the Group Science Project
If it's completely out of your control -- like getting celebrity gifts -- then I'd say you're fine. Team opinion?
Then there were some responses, but no final ruling. Just to be clear I
never used the Group Science project. I just received it when I maxed science.
