Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Hi ladies,

I'm just getting home. Went to the sucky Bears game with the family. Went to dinner and now I'm checking in.

You can move my books wherever you want them to. I'm super exhausted.

I slotted a few more books into the scavenger hunt on a temporary basis.

Four more words need to be found and those are also the hardest (at least two of them are).

Would someone be able to find a book for one of the following?

- turmeric
- ginger
- basil
- St. John's Wort

If it proves impossible to find books for the remaining words, we can always discard the card tomorrow.

CARD 4

You've never been one to try to outdo everyone else. No one really needs to go a whole 20,000 leagues under the sea when 5,000 is plenty. You're quite sure after traveling 5,000 leagues that there's really nothing more that would surprise you down there. You've seen all the fish, sunken ships, sharks and mermaids that you could ever care to see in the sea. Just make sure to take some pictures so you can have a few rounds bought for you at the Tavern after you've returned.
Travel 5,000 leagues and take pictures! Reserve a wonderful spot at the tavern for all your stories.
Leagues may be traveled by reading books. To determine the amount of leagues traveled by a single book, round down to the nearest 100 pages, then calculate 2 to the power of the number of hundreds of pages. (Hint: use the xy button on the calculator)
Examples: 512 page book -> 5 hundred pages -> 2^5 = 32 leagues
(If not all spots are needed, x out all columns)


Tasks:
•Book 1
•Book 2
•Book 3
•Book 4
•Book 5
•Book 6
•Book 7
•Book 8
•Book 9
•Book 10

Rewards:
•5 Experience
•1 Greater Heal Potion
•1 Shield Potion

Hehehe, finish, go go go!

I'm reading the last few pages now of the last book for card 5 :-)

Eldarwen | 13731 comments Mod
Ah that's great, ladies!

Hopefully we can find St. John's Wort somewhere, too!
The card is worth quite a lot so would be a shame not to manage to fill it.


message 7270: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks so for Leaves. we just need big books, right?

I guess V!Nerd can do IT now


message 7271: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I'm...maybe my math is not up to par....but if we need 5,000 Leagues, it's going to take us forever...if 512 page book only equals 32 Leagues, then we would need to read about 157 books that are 500 pages????


message 7272: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Just finished window book!

Uhmm.... yea... although I'm all for the read-a-thon... you make a very compelling point for discarding! LOL!

could we get a page number please for Once Smitten, Twice Shy? The kindle edition you shelved doesn't give a page number. Amazon says 340 pages, is that correct?

Thanks! :-)"

Yeah we'd need a few 1k books to fill up the card quicker.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Stopping by wow on lunch. I have back to back meetings scheduled for the next three days. Ugh.

Ghost in the Stacks Because If we do a 1000 page book, it is still only 100. And that would be 50 books to do 5000

A 1000 page book would be 10 hundred pages.

--> 2^10
--> 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
= 1024
