It pattern was pretty straightforward... if it was sung it was first letter of the song if not sung it was the first letter of the artist... With a couple snags or twists... 1. They don't seem to have counted one song that they argued about but the text seemed to settle on it was a one hit wonder. 2. They counted both the song and artist for one song which they both sung and said. Tricky! 3. And the final but most snaggy.... for "No Rain" You have to use the R for Silver... which just makes no sense. Hopefully the final snag will be explained. I only started this hunt a few days ago and my spreadsheet had all the songs/artists and first and last letters and I just never tried the sung vs said option. I tried a lot of others.... On to another chapter. Good Luck Everyone! I don't know...the number of letters exactly matched the number of songs I had written down as OHWs. But I agree, No Rain didn't fit, and The Vapors didn't fit.

Am I the only one who didn’t count Outkast because they are not one hit wonders? Or does that not matter - because they say so in the story (therefore it’s part of the puzzle); but, yeah, they’ve had more than that one hit.

Dave said in an interview that it’s all about what’s in the story. Actually he mentioned that specific situation and said that if one of the story characters says someone is a one hit wonder but in real life they’ve had hits, they’re still a one hit wonder. That goes along with when he said each chapter is self-contained and if you were locked in a room with just the book but no internet access, you could still solve it.

I didn’t see/listen to the interview so I missed that part. I will keep this in mind for the other chapters. Thank you!
