| Aug 15, 2019 at 18:25 | comment | added | Gareth McCaughan♦ | It does add one thing, namely finding all the anagrams and thereby assuring us that all the author names are likely irrelevant. Otherwise it could have turned out, e.g., that what we're trying to do is to find books whose titles match up somehow with all of a set of things associated with one author's name. Not very likely, but not impossible. And having spent a few minutes anagramming names and not having found all of them, I'm grateful for having that line of attack definitively closed down. | |
| Aug 15, 2019 at 15:25 | comment | added | GentlePurpleRain | @Bass Fair enough. I didn't see either of their comments until after I had posted my answer. But it's true that they did point this out before I did. | |
| Aug 15, 2019 at 10:41 | comment | added | Bass | As far as I can see, this doesn't add anything to OmegaKrypton's and msh210's observations, which were posted to the question as comments (the proper way to post non-answers) more than an hour earlier. | |
| Aug 15, 2019 at 5:19 | comment | added | GentlePurpleRain | I hear your concern. I feel like this is a legitimate "partial answer", as it explores and eliminates one particular potential solution path. But I'm open to other opinions. If others feel it should be deleted, I'm down with that. | |
| Aug 15, 2019 at 0:44 | comment | added | Omega Krypton | um... dont want to be that person, but this technically isn't an answer, but only states some red herrings of the puzzle. of course i appreciate your effort (+1), but then it would be even better if you had commented it instead or wait for some more "real" progress before you post this as an answer. sorry if i am not entitled to say that, but just a friendly reminder. thanks mod! | |
| Aug 14, 2019 at 15:06 | comment | added | GentlePurpleRain | @NudgeNudge Yeah, that's what I figured... I thought I'd post this since I went to the trouble of figuring it out, and to prevent others from wasting their time going down the same road... | |
| Aug 14, 2019 at 15:05 | comment | added | NudgeNudge | You are correct by all accounts, because there is something more to it. This just means rot13(gur anzrf bs gur nhgubef ner veeryrinag) | |
