Are we supposed to make up our own tasks to guess a word?

Sorry Alaina, can the options be proper names of characters / places or just nouns? Or even adjectives? Or any of the above? :P

Rules: You can do any of the following to find your guess (or be creative in your own way).

1. Use the letters in the author's first and/or last name to spell the guess out.
2. Use the letters in the title and/or series title to spell the guess out.
3. Use an object on the cover for your guess.
4. Finding the word in text (using pg/% and quote).
5. Be creative!

Ah!Oh dear! :P

Thank you! :)

I noticed someone put in a book for review for page points, is this part of the game? something we all should be doing? Do we put any books in for page point review or is it just those under 100p? If it's not an answer to the question, why is it worth points?

I'm not sure what fast money is but are we supposed to do that task there?

If a book is less than 100 pages, or you read less than 100 pages, it will count towards page points only.

So Fast Money is just a way for you to get some more bonus points. They will be added at the end of the challenge.

So we are meant to do the unscrambling one that's there? One team effort or each individual in the team? Where do the answers go?

Yes, for the first one you are unscrambling book titles. This is individual and you would PM me the answers.

Just thinking about Banked Books...

Can we use them at any time or does a book have to have a read date after that of the new question posted?

ie. if the question is posed on 6 Feb, can you use a book read on 3 Feb?

Banked books can be used whenever.

Can we do the fast money ones at any point during the week and then just PM you?

Great thanks

For option 4. Finding the word in text (using pg/% and quote), can I use 2 quotes in the book if our guess is a two word answer? For example, if my guess is King Kong and King is on page 10 and Kong is on page 54, is that ok?

Fast Money Book Codes, can I just check that this code is correct - 8. A H Y D by S L? I thought I had it, but I was wrong 😒

Oh oops! Yes, that was a typo! I just fixed it on that round in the fast money.

It is -

A H J D by S L

Which is so weird since someone got that one right already lololol. My bad!!
