I haven't been able to connect to YouTube from my phone (connection not good enough) but a friend told me in your latest video you made no mention of me sharing July Jubilee Toast with you. When you asked me whether it was time to release that potential anagram solution and I gave my blessing, I thought I'd at least get a mention. Doesn't give me much incentive to share anything more with you, and I have plenty more that I'm now more inclined to keep to myself.

For what it's worth, 10 characters is my absolute maximum for using anagrams to solve clues (unless there is an obvious indication somehow that's what needs to be done). Anything more and there are just too many possibilities. If something goes beyond 10 characters and needs to be anagrammed out, IMO, that's just a bad clue that should have been done another way.
We also had July Jubilee Toast last Saturday, as well. IMO, that isn't correct and too general.
That said, I agree, if he got the idea from you, he should give you credit. Also with that said, cowlazer seems like a pretty good dude that seems to really be trying to help others out. I'm guessing if you did give it to him, he didn't already know and used it, he just forgot to give you a shout out for it while he was doing the video.

Minotaur: I agree that it's most likely he just forgot, though I find it odd for him to do so right after asking me for permission to reveal the anagram on his blog. Compounding the dis, I was also the one to point out South Georgia would not have south capitalized if it was a reference to southern Georgia in the US. If I'm not mistaken, I posted the South Georgia Island possibility here a week or two ago (not that I think that south Atlantic island has anything to do with the solution).
As for 16-letter anagrams, I hear you. But this case is special because there are two J's which really limits the possibilities. I challenge you to find a more relevant alternative.

As for 16-letter anagrams, I hear you. But this case is special because there are two J's which really limits the possibilities. I challenge you to find a more relevant alternative. As far as the cowlazar stuff, I'll now leave that to the two of you from this point. As far as the South Georgia, maybe I'm wrong (and that definitely could be a possibility because I'm really good at math, but always have had problems in English), when referencing South Georgia vs. North Georgia, that should be proper, correct? I get southern Georgia isnt proper, but when saying South Georgia, to me, I do consider that proper and should be capitalized. As far as the anagrams, I agree the j's make it interesting. If the right solution is to anagram, I find it hard for July not to be in the answer. That said, if you want my honest opinion on where I am currently with this clue, well here it is... I think pb IS rewarding the people who bought both the hard copy and digital copy of the book; however, I'll take it one step further, not only is pb telling us that the numbers don't matter, but I will argue that the whole clue doesn't matter. All that matters is the ending spot. As they said in the book, it didn't matter how they got to the final spot. In fact, they were trying to figure out where Nelson was taking them. The only definitive spot was the final place. I guess that does make July Jubilee Toast possibly correct because the more general along the way the better with this theory. |

I'm not sure it's an anagram either, although July Jubilee Toast reminds me of the bug eye toasting deal and its possible meanings, too.
Through extreme confirmation bias I pulled Jesuit Bluejay lot out of it which I found interesting because in New Orleans there is a Jesuit Boy's high school, team name Bluejays who play in a baseball stadium off school grounds. I've also been thinking about the numbers left over. What kind of a puzzle is it if you just take the numbers out and anagram? Does it bother anyone else that PB would have us buy both versions to get an advantage?
But, if it is an anagram, I'd go with July Jubilee Toast. It relates directly to the book. My Jesuit thing is more of a "Hey, look at that!" kind of deal. Maybe it's two anagrams in one? Who knows.

I talked to him and apologized and definitely will correct the mistake in the next vlog! If you want a idea of how tired I was I misspelled Meeteetse and Jubilee and didn't catch it until after. Sorry again!! |

One has a pretty good vblog if the biggest issue is that you didn't fit everything in. Enjoyed this as the last and I hope the next.....
