Uh...do they want us to just put "8" for number of cells? That's the number, but it's not going to change. Seems like an odd thing to include.
The number of cells in the image.

Edit: The instructions are terrible, though. Include blank cells in the count? Should you fill out the cells provided with gaps like image? They can spend $1200 but not 5 minutes writing instructions that cover 95% of the HITs.

That's actually not entirely for sure though. It says "the cells below," and the listed image is *above* those instructions, while the included cells are indeed below. It's not just lazy, it's lazy *and* counterproductive, the way they have this listed.

One bit of clarification could make this so much easier. Cells listed, or cells in image, and TOTAL cells or the cells in use.

I don't understand why there would be 8? mine are all 6 cells. 7 if including the drawn line on some of them. hopefully I'm not doing it wrong.

im tempted to try now
they're not the biggest or the best...but when you're short on time or don't feel like going in a place, which is me most of the time....it does the trick....Wings and Things plate is 5wings, 3 tenders, celery, seasoned fries, texas toast and a drink for $9...

I read that as enter the data below. not as a reference to the cells shown below.

The below refers to where you enter it.

"Please enter (the number of cells in the row) below."

the image stops at 6 cells. until I maximize the window and find 2 more cells, both of which are empty. didn't know there were 2 more cells that weren't on the screen.

Total cells vs. cells used. It's a matter of our assumptions. I see "cells" and think "all of the cells," you're seeing "cells" and thinking "the cells that are being used." Both are valid assumptions, which is why we need this clarification.

yeah and I see why it wouldn't make sense to write 8 for no reason on every hit. maybe there are other patterns later in the batch, because it's a big batch.
