Jackie Leven :~))Spinal Tap fans created a movement to make 11/11/11 "Nigel Tufnel Day" (in Recognition of Its Maximum Elevenness).
The theme of Nigel Tufnel Day was to take whatever you are doing on that day and "turn it up to 11".

Hi folks - How do we treat punctuation marks in a band's name? - for example an apostrophe or a hyphen. Do they count as letters or are they just ignored when specifying the number of letters and words?Examples:
John's Jug Band [5, 3, 4] ?
The Muddle-Headed Musicians [3, 6, 6, 9] ?
TwoddleBungler wrote: "Hi folks - How do we treat punctuation marks in a band's name? - for example an apostrophe or a hyphen. Do they count as letters or are they just ignored when specifying the number of letters and w..."Hi Twoddle,
The 'letter counts' in both your examples is spot on (IMO)
I believe if you specify the apostrophe/hyphen you make it too easy to crack the code.
TwoddleBungler wrote: "Hi folks - How do we treat punctuation marks in a band's name? - for example an apostrophe or a hyphen. Do they count as letters or are they just ignored when specifying the number of letters and w..."Perhaps include them in the letter count, but say ‘includes apostrophe’?
Given a slight difference of opinion, I'll go with Sj's for now.Hint - There's no punctuation needed in my current one!

“My apologies I don’t have a code” = “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue”
Nice one, Twoddle! 😃
nc and I went to 2 recordings of ISIHAC (Jack Dee) - it was fall-off-your-seat funny. We still have our kazoos. Just before it started, the bloke next to me leaned over and said quite seriously “I wonder if it will be Samantha or Sven tonight?”
