50.1 - TraceyL's task: Twister

In 1966, the classic party game Twister was published for the first time. Promoted as the game that ties you up in knots, it's played on a large plastic mat that is spread on the floor or ground. The mat has six rows of large colored circles on it with a different color in each row: red, yellow, green, and blue. A spinner is attached to a square board and is used to determine where the player has to put their hand or foot. After spinning, the combination is called (for example: "right hand yellow") and players must move their matching hand or foot to a circle of the correct color.

This is a 3 book task. The total page count must be at least 750 pages.

No books with the genres children or kids on the main book page may be used.

Go to this online Twister spinner, spin the wheel ONE TIME and record your result. For each book, you will complete the option that matches your spin.

Required: State the results of the Twister spinner.

Book 1 - Left or Right
Option Left: Read a book by an author you have read from before.
Required: State that you have read this author before when you post.
Option Right: Read a book by an author you have NOT read from before.
Required: State that this author is new-to-you when you post.

Book 2 - Hand or Foot
Option Hand: Read a book with 3 words or less in the TITLE. Ignore subtitles. Spaces determine words.
Option Foot: Read a book with 4 or more words in the TITLE. Ignore subtitles. Spaces determine words.

Book 3 - Color
Read a book where the cover is at least 50% the color from your spin according to Tineye. Percentages of the same base color may be combined to achieve 50%. For example:
Ice Cold (Jane Rizzoli & Maura Isles, #8) by Tess Gerritsen
Tineye results:
47.3 % #6fb5db Blue
32.4 % #2e373f Grey
8.9 % #3f4d8a Blue
2.9 % #cd272a Red
2.3 % #962b2c Red
1.8 % #b1a198 Grey
1.5 % #614464 Violet
1.3 % #832b49 Violet
0.8 % #f49379 Pink

47.3% + 8.9% = 56.2% Blue

Required: Include the cover in your post.

Karen Michele Burns (klibrary) | 2062 comments I got yellow and thought I had it made with my copy of Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison Song of Solomon


My copy looks yellow and comes out 57.1% yellow on Tineye, (I promise it is not edited for color) but the stock image comes out orange with no yellow. Any chance I can use my picture and hence the book?

TraceyL | 1069 comments It'll be the image on the Goodreads book page, but as Aprilleigh said it does appear to show up as yellow on Tineye so you should be fine

Thanks, Tracey. I'll check it out and make sure I have that edition when I post. I used the ISBN for this post, but found it by sight the first time I did the check, so that may be why the results were different. Anyway, I appreciate the help!
