Subject: 2024 Limited Edition - In Due Time

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 asked for 'That too many people have died' but as other people have now used the last five words, I'd like to change to 'That' as it will finish the line without overlapping anyone else's choices.

One thing I am enjoying about these limited challenges based on song lyrics, is that they so often set my earworm for the day. I see quiz title, and that's it, I'm singing.

Since "How Many Seas" was originally the title I had chosen, I'll pick another one - "A White Dove". I already have an idea for it, and hope to produce it in the next few days.

gme24: Next time, it would be nice if, before changing, you checked that no one else has claimed the exact title you want to change to.

Here is my quiz: link https://www.funtrivia.com/quiz/humanities/a-white-dove-415571.html

As the list still shows my old title, would it be possible to update it with this new submission? Thanks in advance!

I can't edit the post on this page. But it should all be correct when I post again at the top of the next page.

I will take "A time of love, a time of hate." I checked carefully, I hope I haven't made a "faux pas."

I'll take "Too many people have died" if no one else has taken it.
(Am I right that anything in bold is still up for grabs?) :)
