You have stumbled upon a "secret" library. In this library, there are no letters showing on the book covers. Instead, the information is provided in a numerical code. You see a book with the following marked on the spline: 242 212 634 522 923 313 797 100 799 Who was the author of this book?

As I am off to bed I guess I should explain how I got that answer. lol. At first I thought maybe each individual number was representative of a certain letter, but then I thought it cant be as there would be far too many letters. So I tried a few ways of breaking it down, but the results made no sense lol, until as a complete stab in the dark, I tried adding each sequence of numbers. So this was the result………. 2+4+2=8….The eighth letter of the alphabet being H 2+1+2=5….The fifth E 6+3+4=13 ..M 5+2+2=9…….I 9+2+3=14….N 3+1+3=7……G 7+9+7=23….W 1+0+0=1…….A 7+9+9=25…..Y Hope this is correct :unsure: Goodnight Chrissy :D

You see a book with the following marked on the spline:

What part of the book is the spline? :unsure: Is it anywhere near the spine? (I really should learn to type) :rofl:

Even with the distraction of a funny word slipped in there… chrissy72 did correctly identify the book as having been written by Hemingway (I believe it is The Old Man and the Sea)

Well done chrissy72! :clap:

BTW TomK, If my memory serves me right, there used to be an icypole called a "spline" when I was a kid :rofl: Since words have such different meanings here as to there, (such as here u wear a thong on ya foot :rofl: ) I didnt really take much notice spline/spine close enough lol. Chrissy :D

OMG! Butt floss!! :rofl: TOO FUNNY!!! I told an American friend once that I was gunna send him a pair of aussie thongs and he totally got the wrong idea! :rofl: And yes, thats exactly what an icypole is! But now I think about it, I think they were called a splime splice (had pineapple/lime flavoured icypole on the outside with vanilla icecream in the middle).
