With twoish days left, it'd be helpful to know exactly what's been done (or is in the process) and doesn' need to be worked on.

The one I said I'd do that I wasn't able to was #3 (my friend's friend lost parts of his stormtrooper outfit.)

Currently, I'm working on #134 (the "P does NOT equal NP" petition)
