10.5 This Could Take A While
The original Trivial Pursuit game set included 1,000 question-and-answer cards. Read a book with a number greater than or equal to 1,000 in the title or subtitle. Numbers may be written (thousand) or in numeral form (1,000) Plurals and hyphenated numbers work (millions, million-dollar) Years like 1984 work. ex. A Thousand Acres, A Million Suns

Sorry, no, "millionaire" isn't a number.

Susan A | 1662 comments Sorry. I should have been more clear - -I really meant to ask if the number word could be embedded -- like millionaire, or thousandth, but I think that answer is still no? Thanks for your help.

This task is really looking for the number so compound and intact words won't work.

yes it does


Angel **Book Junkie** Thousand Words by Jennifer Brown -- Title: A Thousand Words

The reason I am asking for approval is because the book has Young Adults on the main genre page and I want to make sure it is okay to use.
