More like a 5 difficulty.. and some thoughts | Comment 2 of 6 |
Well, the first line is 8 words long, according to the code, so possible first lines are:



(from The Tragedy of Coriolanus) "Before we proceed any further, hear me speak."
(from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar) "Hence! home, you idle creatures get you home:"
(from The Third Part of Henry the Sixth) " I wonder how the king escaped our hands."
(from The Life and Death of King John) "Now, say, Chatillon, what would France with us?"
(from Pericles, Prince of Tyre) "To sing a song that old was sung,"

The most probable one that will work with the 1st line is "Hence! home, you idle creatures get you home:" but probably that is the not the first line in which Sam speaks of. Well, I've probably missed a few plays with 8-word first lines. Please inform us all if I did
