20.8 - Nickels & Dimes - Julia103's Task: On the Periodic Table

Tin has the symbol Sn (from the Latin word Stannum), atomic number 50, and atomic weight 118.71.

This is a one book task, so choose one of the following options:
Required: State the option.

Option A: Read a book with a word in the title (not subtitle) that starts with the letters Sn.

Option B: Read a book by an author with first and last initials SN. The initials must be in this order (Sharan Newman works; Nancy Springer does not.)
One qualifying author in a book with co-authors works; a contributor to a collection or anthology would not.

Option C: Read a book where the page count includes 50 intact. (350 or 502 would work; 205 would not because the numbers are not in order.)

Option D: Read a book where all the numbers of the page count are found in 118.71. A number can be used as many times as it is in the target. (181 or 711 would work but 177 would not.)

Kim | 762 comments For option two, I assume we ignore middle initials, so this would work? Ahab's Wife, or The Star-Gazer

Thank you.

Yes, the task says first and last initials so author Sena Jeter Naslund works.
