Quite a shake-up for everyone, @Amy_Bray. What were the major challenges with the data we collected? I'm sure many of our samples didn't meet the standards, hence the shake-up.

Overall, it was interesting to traverse coffee estates whenever I had the chance; it was quite a memorable experience that I will treasure. I became a local tourist, enjoying walking and discovering new places.

Thanks to Amy, the Amini team, and especially @Tum_Jackline for the support and help during various challenges.

Congratulations to all!

I think the main reason for the shake-up was ...''The most important part, you needed to be within 50m of the farm you were collecting''

Or faulty app. All. My submissions I did within the plot of land.

Well, it is quite shocking making over 468 entries and ending up with 45 points. Something not quite right. Anyway, was a good moment to traverse coffee plantations.
