No - the only thing they have for 10 is the zimmer man thing, but it seems like 1, 40, 10 and 50 are the ones causing problems over there. People have stopped posting completely there and nobody has answered me so I think they have what they think is a complete list and aren't sharing!

We have until 10am tomorrow to figure out 1 and 10.

I have just accepted every suggested answer on here, but has anyone double checked the others ones - just in case one of us has got one wrong?

oh and either the ipod one or zimmer men can be right as they were both published before 2007, so I think that means they can't both be right - it said only one book was published outside of 2007.

i cross refrenced alot last night, and pretty much seem ok,we can all interpret what we want so its hard,
i really dont think anyone will have all 50 correct, so we have a good chance as any,
the dylan one and 1a are the 2 im not certain with, i might see what i can find again later, but its hard to squeeze in with comping lol!
part of me thiks we should all just pot luck whatever we think for those, then we hae all used some skill?!?!? but i dont think we will get the dylan one its too random, i hate techy nerdy bookshop people so much!!!!!

i don't know why I just keeping thinking of that Dylan song 'blowin' in the wind'

Is there a book by the name of one of his songs which is about the ashes?

lol

I would think "The Rough Guide Book of Playlists" has a better chance of being correct. The Zimmer Men connections are a little tenuous.

I'm just wondering why they didn't just say Bob Dylan in that question - instead they talk about the lead character of a movie. - perhaps one of the books has Bob Dylan in the title?

It's the worst question - i can't wait for them to publish the answers! arrrgggh

I haven't seen that suggested before - what is the connection you are suggesting? doh, just realised you meant the ipod suggestion above.

toniq

its in a few posts above
if they have given u the zimmer man clue why trade what we have as a cert for the sun thing,
we know zimmerman thing isnt connecting as we want it to,so the chances are the other bit wont seem right, let them struggle weve used our time , wits and brains, and if they r hiding their answers u wont know if they r telling u lies.
dont trust them!
