How to Jog
Jenn picked a book off the highest shelf in her room. On the spine she read "How to Jog". She ran out of the room and opened the book but found it had absolutely nothing to do with jogging.
How to Jog was part of a set of encyclopedia. I was wondering if anyone would get this, given how unlikely it is any of you would have a set of encyclopedia these days.
No - I believe that you are wrong because the encyclopedia would then have contained a section about jogging, but the question stated that the book had nothing to do with jogging. So I conclude that the book is about ways to help one remember things.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
part of an unabridged thesaurus or encyclopedia?
ReplyDeletethat section was from 'how' to 'jog;
It was an encyclopedia containing the letters "HOW" through the letters "JOG"
ReplyDeleteI thought it could be a book about memory but I think the both of you are right!
ReplyDeletewell i don't know the exact answer but in my opinion she haven't go through the book because it's written that he read on the spine.
