And, we're live again!

Special thanks to the newly appointed Tower Master Sergeant Lottie1001 for choosing this inspiring pair of songs:

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMFj8uDubsE

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and
how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

TURN, TURN, TURN

link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones

A time to gather stones together

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

The rules:

- Quotes must be full, exact words.
- You may change punctuation and capitalization and you can work across lines.
- Each title may be used only once for credit, but titles can overlap or you could even use a subset of a title already used.
- You can use any category or quiz format. You could even make a crossword if you want.
- You can participate via team and co-authored quizzes, but you need to submit a total of SEVEN questions over one or more quizzes to qualify for the badge (if two people want to evenly split a 15Q quiz, go ahead!). Or author one crossword, those don't have multi-author options.
- The challenge will be judged like any other title-based challenge, so your title must reasonably fit the quiz. This call is (as always) made by the editor who places your quiz online.

And, because it's all about , there's again a community challenge involved in this - it's about fully completing both songs. Repeated lines or phrases of course need to be covered only once. (I removed multiple instances of the chorus so we'll get a more exact progress count)

Conjunctions, articles and so on are free.

It's strongly recommended (but not required) that you claim your title before writing just to make sure no one else will use the same title. And please, before you write, check that you're not duplicating something another author is already working on.

The challenge is open until the end of the year - you must make a first submit within 2024. You can of course do more than one title if you wish to help with the community aspect, but there's no tiers on this - you get it for one quiz just the same as for ten.


And the badge you can earn looks something like this:

I don't know what I will do with it yet, but I will use "A Time To ..." as a quiz title, which will cover one I see dangling, and allow other titles to either include that part of the phrase or not, as the authors see fit.

I apologize for being a bother, but I noticed that a few of us did not get the badge for our quizzes. Lord_Digby shows as the latest receiver of the badge, while Dim_Dude, Ponycargirl and myself (whose quizzes went online some time before) do not appear on the list. I understand that badges for this challenge have to be awarded manually, which might make it easier to overlook contributions.

LadyNim, I noticed yesterday I must have missed a batch. I'll crosscheck once the coffee takes effect :)

Thank you, much appreciated! And don't worry about misspelling my screen name. I'm used to having my real name misspelled all the time :D.

Okay, I think I got them now. That quiz by dim_dude really caught me off guard, it was the last one on the list for quite a few days and it had already been bolded. But that was just from overlapping titles, not because it actually had been processed.

One of the moments where "check the last one posted" vs the bold markup completely failed to keep track of "hey, I need to update".

Greetings.

May I claim the title "I swear it's not too late"?

Oh, it's already claimed, my error. Then, if possible, I'd like to claim "Every Purpose Under Heaven"
