A new cupcake is coming,
so keep your eyes wide!
This new cupcake is bouncing,
with pep and with pride!

To earn it, your sharp eyes
will have to look close,
to spot all differences
in multiple puzzles we post!

Those big books, the thick ones,
with so many pages...
with this cupcake they'll count more.
It'll double their wages!

You'll start off with "sneaky,"
and ninja behavior...
Make it to "snoopy"
and a cupcake you'll savor!

PUZZLE #48 - Doublet from “Sneaky to Snoopy”

Please DO NOT post solution here. Mail to ratminichallenges@gmail.com With Puzzle # in subject line. Be sure to tell me what Team you are assigned, though I have most of you memorized!

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



From “sneaky” to “snoopy”:

SNEAKY
- furtive or stealthy persons
- high-quality beef taken from the hindquarters of the animal (pleural)
- places or roles that someone or something should have or fill (pleural)
- riding horses
- soak (food or tea) in water or other liquid so as to extract its flavor or to soften it***
- spherical gram-positive bacteria occurring in pairs or chains
- device, typically a strip of leather, for sharpening straight razors***
- bend one's head or body forward and downward
- Investigate or look around furtively in an attempt to find out something***
SNOOPY

***3rd person singular present

~ What is the “bouncing” cupcake? ~

                    A new cupcake is coming,
                    so keep your eyes wide!
                    This new cupcake is bouncing,
                    with pep and with pride!

                    To earn it, your sharp eyes
                    will have to look close,
                    to spot all differences
                    in multiple puzzles we post!

                    Those big books, the thick ones,
                    with so many pages...
                    with this cupcake they'll count more.
                    It'll double their wages!
What is the “bouncing” cupcake? It is a very special cupcake in that it is used on “chunkster” books with a page count equal to or greater than 450 pages (verified by word count).

Unlike the other cupcakes (regular and “blinkie”) which give you the advantage of reducing the number of books required to complete a challenge, the “bouncing” cupcake will actually add one additional book - for each pic - to your Team's book total for any “chunkster” read by a team-mate.

What’s the catch? No cupcakes until the series is all completed!

“Bouncing” cupcakes are earned by completing a series of "Spot the Difference" puzzles. You must get the whole series correct to obtain your “bouncing” cupcakes.

Options: Different members of your Team may submit the different puzzles; you may all work together; you may have just one person submit. You may submit as many times as you like, until you get the puzzle correct.

“Bouncing” cupcakes may only be obtained during a Mod posted challenge or Read-a-Thon. However, if you do NOT complete the series of puzzles within the time-frame of the challenge, you may continue to attempt to complete it when a new Mod posted challenge or R-a-T is started again, as long as you have completed at least the first in the series.

When submitting a “bouncing” cupcake, you may select any “chunkster” book read by one of your team-mates since April 12th, the beginning of Round II.

There will be a special thread posted for you to redeem your “bouncing” cupcakes for easier tracking.

SPECIAL NOTE: “Bouncing” cupcakes will NOT be accepted on Sundays, the day of the infamous "Sunday Update." (Pacific Daylight/Savings Time)

Captain Cupcake | 628 comments Any questions?


message 438: by Rhonda (new)

Rhonda | 550 comments Yep.

1. How often will these puzzles be posted?

2. How many per day?

3. How many in a series?

4. Is it one bouncing cupcake per team or per player?


message 439: by Rhonda (new)

Rhonda | 550 comments One more:

Can a number of regular or blinkie cupcakes be exchanged for a bouncing cupcake? Such as 7 regular cupcakes = 1 bouncing cupcake, etc..


message 440: by Captain Cupcake (last edited Jun 12, 2013 07:28AM) (new)

Captain Cupcake | 628 comments ANSWERS

1. How often will these puzzles be posted?
Depending on what else is happening in the threads. However, we plan one a day, except Sundays.

2. How many per day?
One per day, barring migraines.

3. How many in a series?
Varies.

4. Is it one bouncing cupcake per team or per player?
One correct pic submitted per Team; therefore, one (eventual) "bouncing" cupcake per Team per pic.

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments Will the bouncing cupcake puzzle specify that it's a bouncing cupcake puzzle? I figure it probably will but I seek clarification!

That bouncing cupcake makes me hungry. It needs to bounce into my stomach. Well, not that one, it's just digital...but a real one.
