Turtlecollector Dennis | 1164 comments Ezi, in case you don't check puzzle thread, please delete your answer post about ship and PM me or Tea instead so other teams can't see it. I am going to work on encryption tonight.

LMAO, I was really really really joking. I didn't even read the instructions or clues. I just saw a big boat and thought Noah's ark.

I deleted it but I seriously doubt that was the right answer. Sorry if I caused any confusion though

Turtlecollector Dennis | 1164 comments OK, thanks. My first thought was that it was from a series she has already used as an encryption puzzle and then your answer made me think maybe I was going to be wrong when I actually decode it later.

I will also try that orange/black cover puzzle tonight if it isn't done yet.

She? Are you sure about that? OK there are not many guys in this challenge, so odds are in your favor. ☺

Encryption as series... there is an idea!
*goes to work on the idea little more before telling it to LK*

sorry. I should reiterate that I only look at the Spot the Difference puzzles. I tried that encrypton one ONCE and I felt like a giant dumbass. So I figured, I am at least smart enough to compare pictures.

So Puzzle 181 is currently being worked on.

Hey, I work with mostly females too(we have 1 guy in my library) so 'she' is kind of my default pronoun.

Team Member Reassignments - For more information and Team Assignements go here.

◆ We have decided to close the sign-up thread to the Tower Teams Reading Challenge, except for replacement players who exactly fit our needs.

◆ We are going to fill the gaps from absent Team Members on the Teams from within our current Team Members.

◆ In order to do this, we will reassign the Team Members of Banana Mania and the Mods of Cadet Blue to various Teams. We have been working on this for quite awhile and have tried to be as equable as possible.

◆ In an effort to keep Banana Mania as together as possible, we are moving some of the Mods.

Is a word count or page number that is essential?


message 1731: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments We go by word count first, Ezi, and then page count. However, that book is too new for us to know word count, yet. Also, the previous books in the series have NOT made the word count. However, this one is just a smidgen longer.

Since you are in good mood, can this pass as chunkster The Darkest Lie (Lords of the Underworld, #6) by Gena Showalter ? I couldn't find word count, but previous book was accepted. :P

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments FOFLMBO! Alright, ❀Tea❀. It is on the boarder, too. I'll allow it.
