20.7 - Shorter is Sweeter - Brooklyn's Task: Two Truths and a Lie

This is a great game to get to know people. Both my last company and my current one has utilized this game for the sales team to get closer to each other and to promote a team atmosphere. My next team meeting is coming up at the end of September, and we will be playing this game. The options for this task are the two truths and one lie I plan to tell my team. It will be up to them (and you) to determine which statement is the lie.

This is a one book task. No books with a MPG of children or kids may be used for this task. Your book must have a minimum of 250 pages.
Required: State which option you choose.

Option 1: I once traveled around the world on one flight reservation. The trip was roughly 3 weeks long and very difficult to pack for! My reservation took me on the following path: San Francisco  Bangkok  Dubai  Amsterdam  San Francisco.

For this option, read a book by a single author whose initials can be found in AROUND THE WORLD. All initials count and spaces determine names. Letters can only be used as often as they appear.

Option 2: My family went on a road trip every summer here in the U.S.. My parents strongly believed that driving was better than flying because we could “see the country.” These trips took us all over the country and were between one and two weeks long. As a result, I have been to all 48 contiguous states (plus Hawaii on an adult vacation!).

For this option, read a book with a car or a paved road on which a car could drive on the cover.
Required: Include the cover in your post.

Option 3: Between work trips to most of the major cities in the U.S. and a couple of crazy friends, I’ve met a lot of famous people over the years. In fact, one very eventful year I met former tennis pro Andre Agassi, Home Depot owner Arthur Blank, the late Hall-of-Fame Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr, college basketball coaching legend Bobby Knight, and rock star Tommy Lee of Motley Crue. I was surprised each time by their humility and kindness.

For this option, read a book with a MPG of biography or autobiography. The genre may be standalone or embedded.

Thank you."


Hi Kim - all of those options have a road capable of driving on, so you're good!

I think this works for option 2 but I want to be sure. I've been wrong before.
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy - You've got both bases covered with this one. I see both a car and a driveable road. Enjoy!

Confirmed! You're all set. :-)

Would Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets work for the car? Children's or kids is not a MPG at this time.

Hi Florence - that will work for a car on the cover. However, please note we can not confirm an absence of a MPG, so you might want to double check prior to posting. :-)
