I always post the answer first, as I have spent ages working out a new anagram in the past, only to find that someone (usually Anita

) has pipped me to the post!

How come Raci's post before mine is timed at 12:43, whilst mine, posted later, is at 10:59?

Raci · Post by **Raci** » 28 May 2006, 12:24

Because I was up til late

My post is from 43 mins past midnight. You must have your EB forums on different settings to mine. On my computer it says 0.43

Ah. Now I understand. I should have realised that 12:43am is before 10:59am.

Amazing (I'm easily pleased)! I didn't realise you could alter the date/time settings. I have now altered mine to read, for example

All right - its a small step for mankind, but a giant leap for me!

Do you have the next anagram for us?

Five days and no one has got this.

As it took me a couple of hours to come up with the anagram, I was initially pleased that someone didn't work it out straight away after all that effort. But now?

In some ways you could say it is the title of a famous adventure book, but in other ways perhaps not. In the short term I'm inclined to say it may not be....

I've half a mind to give you further clues - but in fact now I have given them all

You've got me stumped good and proper-like.
(apologies for the poor attempt at a Mr Goon impression)

At first I was rather excited that the words "Five" and "Adventure" were in there - and then I realised nothing else fit! So I concede defeat.

You are hot on the trail Heather.

I hope I haven't goofed - but it is definitelyan EB title.[/i]

Hmm - is it "Five and a Half-Term Adventure," which is a short story from one of the Magazine Annuals?

Here's the next one:

Offer t' lend boy a hand

Yes Anita. All the words of the title were in my last post, if anyone was looking.

When I set the question I had the term 'half-books' in mind, which I had seen recently (and I thought if people got 'Five' and 'Adventure' it would lead them on to the other words). However it wasn't really half a book so I shall avoid those in the future, to prevent any confusion.

Well done, Anita, for solving Viking Star's fiendishly difficult anagram!

Viking Star had me absolutely stumped too! No Y so it wasn't a Mystery; no S so it wasn't a Secret Seven or Secret book; and no O which excluded nearly every title Enid Blyton wrote - think how many titles have the words BOOK or OF in them! I then checked my Enid Blyton bibliography and still couldn't get it!

Anyway, it's back to Anita's anagram ... anyone?
