Good show for the man in Lincoln Green! :D :lol:
A gentle reminder--only three left from the current list:
#3 A unevenness in entropy = A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'engle
#6 The dog was on fire in the nighttime = The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
#12 The little tot slept =Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson
FINITO! :nod:
I can't help but think that number 3 involves the word "Chaos," but I can't think of any book that might relate to it. Am I too far off target?
Well, the word "Chaos" is not in the title. Since we're down to the final three, this is usually where I give hints. So:
#3. A uneveness in entropy -- Think of entropy as a sheet on a bed. You smooth out uneveness which are called what? Then what is entropy?
#6 The dog was on fire in the nightime -- Who was it that drew attention to the strange occurence of the dog in the nighttime? He encounter a fiery dog?
#12 The little tot slept-- What if, instead of be my usual cryptic self, I could be cryptic by simply telling the truth, but phrasing it another way? ;) :D :lol: :goof:
3. A Wrinkle in Time!!! by Madeleine L'engle!
#6 - The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
And the bullseye for the Archer!Quote:

Ergo = A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'engle! You needed my Star Trek collection. Vollume II is a novel called The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre in which Spock desperately trys to correct a time-travel glitch. Hee-hee. That's why I don't use my own bookshelves to make up these lists. My shelves are far too specialized.
But your nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
And I cannot believe no one has got #12. I said I was hiding in plain sight! :lol: :lol: :lol:
By the way, you ought to know that "entropy" is a completey different concept from "time." In case you were wondering about why it took a hint :p .
WINNER! Hoo-hoo!http://www.websmileys.com/sm/music/musik05.gifQuote:

I give you kudus, NNoah3, you bloody well solved th' mystery!
No one has ANY clue on #12? Plain English folks, phrased diffrently, means the same yet something else tae.
Hmm...just a stab in the dark, but I'm guessing that "The Rugrat Snoozes" isn't the right answer...
EDIT: EUREKA!! I'VE GOT IT!! "KIDNAPPED"!!
And the Archer shoots the lights out, although I hope he isn't running naked up the street shouting "Eureka!!" Kind of dastarly of me to hide in plain sight like that, no?Quote:

Tell me, was it my use of "tae" for "two" that tipped you off finally?
For finally ending the set, the dancin' dudes!

Indeed, as Spock might say. My bad it seems. It's only connection to time is the effect it would have if time somehow got out of balance, thus the title of the book I mentioned. Sorry. I shall be more careful in the future. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/aliens/abduct.gifQuote:
