People are sending in the correct answers, Barbara��. I hope the next one is better for you.

Does anyone want to be a "test bunny" for a "Mean Green" (duplicate books) Challenge?

PUZZLE #13: Another slider puzzle, but with twelve pieces.


Please be sure to show that you worked the puzzle; do NOT just post the bookcover. Thank you.

I can do it, I guess. I have no idea what you mean :D

You want to be my "test bunny," ❶İձ�❶�? for "Mean Green"?

I meant I don't know what's "Mean Green". If that's not problem, sure I can be your test bunny

Checking in for Team Moonstone :)

Representing Mango Tango:

Um, LK, you realize for puzzle #14 you have the answers listed, right?

Nope. **hee hee**

Not a huge fan of ladders but I could have solved that one in seconds :)

PUZZLE #14 - Doublets from "Blood to Water"

Please DO NOT post solution here. Mail to [email protected] With Puzzle # in subject line. Be sure to tell me what Team you are on, though I have most of you memorized!

Doublets were word-link puzzles first created by Lewis Carroll. Changing only one letter at a time, and using the clues along the side, go from "blood" to "blood"... or vice versa!



From “blood�� to “water.��

Blood ��
- to be deep in thought; meditate
- wide in extent from side to side
- a staple food made from flour
- to produce (offspring); give birth to or hatch
- not imprisoned or enslaved; being at liberty
- a liberator or emancipator
- a young chicken suitable for frying
- a curious person (variant spelling)
- a person who pays
- British public school slang word for father; now chiefly used facetiously
Water -

Puzzle #15
cadet blue



It says '22 piece wavy' but I can't seem to make it larger if I use tinypic.com, and it took me 2:41.

Forgot to put: Hobbit team :D

Another one for Team Moonstone:

Not as fast as Tea (geez, how DO you do that every time??), but faster than average -- barely :)
For the Mango Tango team:

I think I missed this one before. Note that I did it using the bird-shaped pieces :)
For team Mango Tango:

~ Mean Green ~

Find the duplicates, there are fourteen. The books that are posted more than once are featuring the same covers as well as titles.

Two books are listed twice.
Three books are listed thrice,
Then four books are there times four,
And five books times five, no more!

There are at least two tricky ones, so check the titles.

PUZZLE #16 - Mean Green!

Please DO NOT post solution here. Mail to [email protected] With Puzzle # in subject line. Be sure to tell me what Team you are on, though I have most of you memorized! It is okay to just send me the titles.

Please Note!!!! You do NOT have to give me row and column on Puzzle #16, Just the title of the book and the number of times it is posted:

Example
Green Eggs and Ham X2
How Green Is My Library? X3

I'm not sure, Eni. I did put the puzzle out there for other people to do, if they want. Or maybe it is someone in the regular NBRC group, as this link was in the newsletter.

FOFLMBO! Perfect use of the word "guacamole," Teresa!

Yes, it is! It might take more than one Team member to do it.

I couldn't resist. ;)

I'm almost finished! Staring at that for 30 minutes or so has made all of the covers blend together so I'm taking a break and then I'll tackle the last grouping I need!

Okay, if you want to take a break, Teresa. However, you're in a race to be the absolutely, positively very first, as I just sent one person back to the drawing board.

Oh, the pressure!! I've looked over and over and nothing's sticking out, except the ones I've found. Okay, I'll try again!

We have a first place - Rebecca L (NJ) of Moonstone was the first to send in the "Mean Green" puzzle! Woohoo!

(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

Guacamole for you!

I'll tell you, I blink my eyes and all I see are green covers. That kept me busy for a long, long time.

Good challenge LK!

Congrats, Rebecca!

Blast!!! I just got it! Oh well. I was close!

Well, you can come back to it later, Teresa. ��
