Sorry to ask, I really don't understand what this means, I'm new to this platform and there are things I still don't understand here. You said an exception has been granted for me to finish syncing my node beyond the cut off date. I completed the challenge as stated by @NotATether earlier this month. He said we all had 14 days to finish the node with the screen shot format of which I think is now the old format because I just came online now to see that it's quite different from the ones we earlier did. I would have seen this message that very day you posted it but I haven't been online since then because am assignment came in and we were ordered to to report immediately to our new post. It's a long story man.

The challenge had some rule changes that took effect on November 14, 0:00 UTC, that's why your Day 14 report was not included in the compilation (specifically because it didn't have a screenshot). To make it clear, you are still allowed to finish the challenge, but you need to post a Day 15 report including a screenshot of your node output.

When I said it's a long story, it really is. This is something I would have done if only I was at my base, like I said previously, that very 14th we received an order with immediate effect. I am with the military and giving the situation of things in my country we were ordered to move and was redeployed to a totally new area and worse still, we don't have access to electricity or the internet, it is only when we go to a nearby community that we get these things. All my other gadgets are in the barracks and it's even worse considering the kind of job I do, sometimes 6 to 8 months or even more, we don't see what our homes looks like. It's really tiring. I would have gladly done the day 15 and posted the screenshot as instructed but I'm not even close to civilization that's the worst part of it all. I hope I'm not disturbing or asking for too much, you can please use your discretion.

I'm sorry but I can't decide on that since I'm only a volunteer. I'm just following the guidelines. You will have to ask OP @NotATether if he's willing to accept your Day 14 report.
