25.3 - Coralie's Task - Let's Be Different
date
newest »


I found on my shelves-
A. Frog and Easy
B. Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet and Seduced in the Dark

There are 2 "F"s and lots of 'E's in the title.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the task -- but there should be no repeats at all right?

So we can either read TWO books - one from Option 1 Book A and one from Option 1 Book B...
OR we can read ONE book from Option 2
Is this correct?

Yes, that is correct.

I don't think so, the letters in the title aren't all different. I think it would work for option 1 book B though.

My bad, sorry about that!

Yes, that works.

Sorry Robin, but to satisfy the second condition you need at least four words in the title.

OOOOOPS....I think I am confused/not understanding about how this task works.

OR we can read ONE book from Option 2

I'm confused too :(

Option Two is to read one book which satisfies the conditions of both book A and book B.
For book A it doesn't matter how many words are in the title, but book B (and hence option two) needs to have at least four words in the title.

thanks!"
Yes, all words count.

Yes, all words count."
Thanks!


A Cab Called Reliable: A Novel works fine.


No you don't have to count the subtitle.
1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created works for book A.

A Cab Called Reliable: A Novel works fine."
Thanks so much!



Mr. Churchill's Secretary: A Novel 2,10,9,1,5"
Yes, I will let you have it.

Yes, I approve it. In my opinion Vol 1 is more of a subtitle than title. Say when you post it that it is approved in the help thread.

2013 will be the first year since 1987 that all the digits in the year are different.
OPTION 1:
Read two books.
Book A - Read a book with every letter (or character) in the title different. For example, Mockingjay, 1Q84, or One Day.
Book B - Read a book with at least four words in the title (or title and sub-title combined) where every word has a different number of letters. For example A Game of Thrones
1,4,2,7 letters, or To Kill a Mockingbird 2,4,1,11 letters.
OPTION 2: Read one book that meets both of the above requirements. For example, A Time for Us. Every letter in title different, letter count 1, 4, 3, 2.
For this option, you must make the same choice (title only or title/subtitle combined) for each of the criteria.
For both options, hyphenated words count as one word. Numerals such as 136 would count as one word (in this case with 3 letters). REQUIRED: Include the letter count in your post, as in the examples above.
