How Many Long Time Unsolveds Have You Got?

[Bargle]

While checking on my Unsolved threads recently, I realized I think I have more than average for long time members here.
I've got 3 at 10 years or more.
2 at 9 years or more.
1 at 8 years.
And 1 at 5 years.

So, how many have you got? Let's limit it to ones that are at least 4 years old.

Only one, from 2021. Don't really remember if it's worth tracking down, but bumped it just in case. I was the kind of kid that would read anything I could get my hands on; cereal boxes, if that was all that was available.

I have two. Both are at two years or so. I bump them regularly. People have indeed found really old unsolved ones!

Pretty sure I remember solving a few 2-5 year ones. Never seen them before, and know the book at first sight. Must have just missed all the bumps for years! Occasionally, I’ll go into solve an old one I’ve just seen… and someone else has JUST solved it minutes before. Guess there’s some we all miss.

Think the oldest one I’ve solved was around 6years old?

I’ll have to have a look through my threads now.

I had a 9-year solved a while ago, and still have a current 11 years.
Stuck between wanting to know the story, and wanting it to get to the top of the longest to solve list!

Yeah, it's sorta nice to be the record holder.

On a related note, I'm also a participant over at Librarything's Name That Book group. Someone there just had one solved after 13+ years.

ETA: and one of my own recently got solved after 10 years.
