BLANKO

Welcome to our newest brain teaser

The rules are simple:

The Challenger posts either a title or the name of an author, not both. One letter is supplied. More information may be given, but isn't required.

Example:

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

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

What is it?

The Contestants guess--the title (or author) if they can, or a letter. One guess between appearances of the Challenger for each contestant.

At the end of the day, or more often if the Challenger wants, the Challenger will add one or more of the letters the Contestants have suggested, everywhere it appears. (Note that the original supplied letter might also appear elsewhere.)

The winner becomes the new Challenger.

Good Luck !!

PatH · « **Reply #2615 on:** August 24, 2012, 02:54:37 PM »

I wonder if the V is in the wrong place. Except for that, I'm seeing Stephen Vincent Benet, and I bet you are too, Frybabe.

PatH, this is too easy. Your revenge upon me, no doubt, for deferring to you on the last.

Two Years Before the Mast. A most interesting book. BTW, I found Dana's book about traveling to Cuba, but haven't read that one yet. After writing TYBM, Mr. Dana became a successful Maritine lawyer.

PatH · « **Reply #2626 on:** August 25, 2012, 08:07:12 PM »

WINNER!

No, Frybabe, I didn't know whether it would be easy or hard, don't think I would have gotten it so quickly. I read that book in high school, should probably reread it and see what I think of it now. Thanks for filling me in on Dana's career.
