After visiting one of my very old relatives, I travelled home in their old jalopy. The car was old and battered, it had a leak from the petrol tank, and I was stuck in second gear.
This meant that I could only travel along at a steady 30 miles per hour and managed a paltry 20 miles per gallon of fuel.
At the start of the journey, I had placed exactly 10 gallons of fuel into the tank. I knew though, that the fuel tank lost fuel at the rate of half a gallon per hour.
Just as I arrived home, the car stopped because it had run out of fuel and I had only just made it.
How far was it from my relative's house to my home?
Can you find the book titles hidden in these phrases?
ROME OR OSLO? ANDREW, JULIE, TO VISIT. WARM TOO FEW, THE SUBWORLD SNEEZES AN I MALL? SHOPS, FAR MALLS? GO NEXT, GO! WITHOUT OTHER I DWINDLE. GO! WATER. SHIP, BOAT. STORM! DOWN RAIN! BRAVERY IN A NEW AGE, WORLD'S HOPE.
For each word in the title, new letters are added of the same length, and then the spacing is changed, and punctuation is added.
For example:
BOOK TITLE
BOOK 1234 TITLE 12345
BOOK NIGH TITLE APTUP
BOOKNIGHTITLEAPTUP
BOO, KNIGHT. IT LEAPT UP!
