    Hello and welcome to the challenge. 
    @julicorn runs it and she is in charge of our spreadsheet. When she sees your post she will give you a number, then you just need to comment every month, let her know what number you are and how much you overpaid this month. Here's the spreadsheet from 2022 if you want to have a look what it's like.
