Book Trailer

Remember that little Book Trailer competition we launched a few months ago, with our friends at Waterstone's? Remember, we were looking for a minute-long ad to play in UK cinemas, promoting the books?

If you remember that, you may also remember the fact that we chose not one, but TWO winners- Liam Fitzpatrick and Danielle Drew- and combined their ideas to make the Best Thing Ever In The World ™.
Remember all that? Oh I AM glad. Because, drum roll please, the trailer is ready.

The reason that this was a “UK only” competition, and the reason the trailer will only be shown in UK cinemas (take a look on the blog tomorrow and there'll be a list), is simply because Waterstone's UK came to us with the proposal. But does that mean you minions living outside of the UK will never be able to see it? Pfffft. How unfair would THAT be? The fact is, we’re putting it online FIRST so that you, my faithful minions, will be able to devour it like the insatiable little zombie-readers that you are.

You’re going to need a bucket as you watch this, because your brain WILL melt. That’s an official health warning.

Ebony Orvil said...

He is honorable if he loves two people from Harry Potter (as long as they are not evil).

Lunar Tears said...

And Octa writes amazing poems

And I've added "Annoying Dragona" to my interests

Dragona Pine said...

Why tease me? I am honorable? But yet they tease me about everything...

Ebony Orvil said...

No, just the ... and the hair.

Ebony Orvil said...

Dragona Pine said...

Lunar Tears said...

I'm having a little rant about how my English teacher gave us 5 minutes to solve Einstein's riddle

Dragona Pine said...

I don't even know what Einstein's riddle is...

Dragona Pine said...

Where has everyone gone?

Lunar Tears said...

The question is: "Who owns the fish?"

Hints:
The Brit lives in the red house.
The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is on the left of the white house.
The green house's owner drinks coffee.
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
The owner of yellow house smokes Dunhill.
The man living in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.

Lunar Tears said...

THIS is Einstein's riddle

He said only 2% of the population would be able to solve it without guessing

Dragona Pine said...

No one owns a fish...

Lunar Tears said...

Dragona, somebody DOES own the fish...

I just have no idea who it is...

Mary Hiashi said...

No one owns the fish?

Dragona Pine said...

Hmm...

Lunar Tears said...

That's what everyone guesses....

Darkane Claw said...

Hey people.

Lunar Tears said...

Dragona Pine said...

http://www.increasebrainpower.com/einsteins-riddle.html

Look at that... if it helps...

Dragona Pine said...

LUNAR I HAVE THE ANSWER!


Prince Cigar-smoking German in the green house owns the fish in Einstein's riddle.



^^^


THE ANSWER!

Dragona Pine said...

I Am so smart :P

Dragona Pine said...

LUUUNNNAAARRR!!!


THE ANSWER IS THE PRICE CIGAR SMOKING GERMAN IN THE GREEN HOUSE!

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

No the website you got that off is so smart :P

Dragona Pine said...

please answer me! I know the answer! Yippie!

Dragona Pine said...

Clue # 6 says the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds (house 3). Clue #10 says the man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats, so "cats" can only fit in the house 1 column. That leaves but one slot open, so the coffee-drinking, Prince Cigar-smoking German in the green house owns the fish in Einstein's riddle.

Dragona Pine said...

I AM A GENIUS :D

Lunar Tears said...

I never looked

You probably cheated

But I wanna be part of the 2%

Anyway, The Norwegian HAS to live in the YELLOW house, which eliminates the Mary's possibility I think

I just read: The German lives in the yellow-

And I looked away

I WILL DO THIS ON MY OWN

Dragona Pine said...

Ok... maybe the website helped a tiny bit...

Dragona Pine said...

Lunar... come on, just read it... it's easy... I am not in the 2%, and I doubt anyone in the country is... just read the answer...

Lunar Tears said...

NO

If James frickin' Simon can do it, then so can I!

Dragona, I'm stubborn like that

I WON'T LOOK

Dragona Pine said...

And btw, the German lives in the GREEN house, he drinks coffee, and smokes Prince, and after you have finished the pet things (Danish owns horses, Swedish owns dogs, British owns birds, the house next to the person who smokes blends (house one) must own cats) and then there's only one possibility left, the GERMAN OWNS THE FISH!

Dragona Pine said...

And I did work it out, put only help with the house colours from a website...

Dragona Pine said...

Because I'm a sad person who hasn't got anything better to do, so I figured out an annoying riddle...

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

*Nicolette flips out and kills Dragona and Lunar with a candy cane*

Dragona Pine said...

*dodges the candy cane*

Scar said...

woah crazy stuff

Dragona Pine said...

Why won't anyone listen to me... the german owns the bloody fish...

Lunar Tears said...

ANY HELP IS BAD HELP

I HURT MY EYE AGAIN LOOKING AWAY AS SOON AS I READ 'THE GERMAN'

STOP

PLEASE

I'VE GOT A METHOD

Dragona Pine said...

And I worked that out, except for the house colours which I got off a website... and THAT WAS IT... I WORKED IT OUT! EXCEPT FOR THE HOUSE COLOURS!

Mary Hiashi said...

I haven't read the answer. I still say the German.

Dragona Pine said...

God... damn it... Lunar, listen to me, I have worked it out...

Dragona Pine said...

Mary, it IS the German... I have worked it out!

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

Dragona Pine said...

Why won't anyone listen to the tall person who just worked out a riddle which is nearly impossible?

Mary Hiashi said...

I don't really know where he lives, I think the yellow house...But I could be wrong...And...

Dragona Pine said...

What did he say Skulgirl?

Lunar Tears said...

Hi Skulgirl

Dragona... please, stop

I'm working it out BY MYSELF

Dragona Pine said...

The green house, he has a fish, smokes Prince and drinks coffee...

Dragona Pine said...

I've probably worked it out in half the time that Lunar will have...

Skulgirl13 A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous said...
