MORE PUZZLES YOU SAY?...HMMM...

How about we get some CRYTOGRAMS happening this weekend!
Let’s start with 4. Each crytopgram is one title of a book followed by “by” and the author’s name. These books are from our moderator Karen’s bookshelves (“all”, not just the “read” shelf)

Example: The cryptogram will look something like this with the B,Y,E letters provided:

Here is it solved:

If your team completes all four cryptograms , your prize is your choice of either:
* 2 free questions plus a guess to the team of your choice OR
* 2 free guesses to your opposing team (or a team of your choice if you have already uncovered your opposing team)
*claps hands*

               

Specifics

* It is one set of crytopgrams per team. So even if more than one team member completes, you won't get extra prizes

* To claim your prizes, please email me the answer to:
ratminichallenges@gmail.com
But please put a note in the thread that you have done this:)

*You must have all 4 cryptograms complete by the end of week 5 in order to receive your prize

* You can only use your prize during week 5 (until weekly opposition for week 6 is announced at 8am Friday AEST)

Sarah | 3273 comments If we have uncovered our team and we choose two guesses - if we get another team uncovered with the first guess, can we use our second guess then on another team? Or will we lose our second guess?


message 36: by NBRC Book Ninja (new)
