11 out of 15, I'm quite surprised, I usually don't do that well!
 I've got American editions of the books though and instead of the sixpence it was strange (for me) to read about Charlie finding a dollar bill in the street! -------------------- |

QUOTE(Perenelle @ Oct 8 2008, 04:34 PM)  11 out of 15, I'm quite surprised, I usually don't do that well! Meh I got five wrong answers but, I'm intrigued by the idea that there are books (UK editions?) where Charlie finds sixpence I've got American editions of the books though and instead of the sixpence it was strange (for me) to read about Charlie finding a dollar bill in the street!  So this is totally random but I'm wondering if the currency is adapted to the country of whatever language the book is written in. Like if there's a Japanese translation, does Charlie find the equivalent in Yen? --------------------   I'm 1 of the 99.99% W.L.Y.J.
