Welcome to our newest brain teaser: BLANKO

The rules are simple:

The Challenger poses and indicates either a title or the name of an author, but not both.

The Contestants guess the title or author and post their answer; if they can, the solve the entire title. They can also suggest another letter to fill in one of the blanks.

At the end of the day if the puzzle is not solved,
the Challenger then must add only one of the suggested letters the contestants have suggested, everywhere it appears.

The winner becomes the new challenger.

Ex:

Title of Book: three words, a prize winning novel:

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ T __ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

What is it?

Good Luck !!

WINNER WINNER WINNER

I love the Winnie-the-Pooh stories (the original ones, not the horrid Disney stuff).

When I worked, I always bought a Winnie-the-Pooh calendar every year. At meetings, when everyone else would bring their fancy blackberries, I would bring my Winnie-the-Pooh calendar.

On to you, PatH
