I got told in #1269407037461233774 to make my own bounty, so I guess I am. I will look for everything related to the work of Terry Pratchett

versed wave
#

Complete List is none down to 395.

#

If anybody wants that challenge, I think the titles causing the biggest backlogs there are Interesting Times, Men At Arms, Night Watch, Soul Music, Wintersmith and Unseen Academicals

#

The Colour of Magic, Equal Rites and Moving Pictures could probably also do with other recipes, but the three of them all start the same way

#

My other Discworld related fines so far

#

and these other ofTPs works

Or you want Wintersmith and Unseen Academicals?

versed wave
#

I have them, just not very optimised routes

#

Oh i got it

Discworld + Soul Food = Soul Music```

#

Low depth variations can often be useful: Discworld + Tsunami Pratchett = Terry Terry + Tsunami Pratchett = Sir Terry Pratchett Mountain Range + The Colour of Magic = The Discworld

# 
Good Omens + Sir Terry Pratchett = A great book
A great book + Sir Terry Pratchett = A Great Sir Terry Pratchett
School + Sir Terry Pratchett = Unseen University
A Great Sir Terry Pratchett + Unseen University = The Unseen Academicals
The Unseen Academicals + U = Unseen Academicals```

# 
A great book + Sam Vimes = A Burned Book
A Burned Book + Sam Vimes = The Truth
A Burned Book + Sir Terry Pratchett = A New Discworld Novel
A New Discworld Novel + Sam Vimes = Awesome
A New Discworld Novel + Awesome = Snuff```

A New Discworld Novel + Iceworld = Wintersmith```
# 
Lords and Ladies + Tiffany Aching = The Wee Free Men```
barren mesa
#

Equal + Terry Pratchett = Equal Rites

barren mesa
#

Moving + Sir Terry Pratchett = Moving Pictures

#

Probably faster solutions exist, but I like this one: Chinese Restaurant + Curse = Chinese Curses Chinese Curses + Terry Pratchett = Interesting Times

#

Moving Pictures + Unseen Academicals = The Truth

barren mesa
#

Guards! Guards! + Lords and Ladies = Men At Arms

barren mesa
#

Guards! Guards! + Interesting Times = Night Watch

# 
Post Office + Terry Pratchett = Going Postal```
#

A Hat Full of Sky + Wintersmith = I Shall Wear Midnight

barren mesa
#

A New Discworld Novel + Sorcery = A Hat Full of Sky

#

A New Discworld Novel + Moving Pictures = Going Postal

# 
A New Discworld Novel + The Shepherd’s Crown = The End```
#

A New Discworld Novel + Pyramid = Pyramids

Just need to route these: Wintersmith Sourcery // Unused Pyramids // Unused Equal Rites Guards! Guards!

i skipped making mail, postal and postal 2

versed wave
#

now we can try to get these in here too

versed wave
#

if they are made eaiser than the forced method i've just used, Where's My Cow + Terry Pratchett is another recipe for A Hat Full Of Sky

versed wave
#

Can leave out Interest. Loan + Terry Pratchett = Interesting Times

#

The Sea and Little Fishes short story also just goes straight in, interesting. ~Carpe Diem + Tsunami Pratchett

versed wave
#

Saved another two spots finding Viking + Road = Raid, Raid + Road = Robbery and Robbery + Discworld = Thief

north remnant
#

but i kinda doubt it

versed wave
#

if it was easy to find, I'd have done it a lot time ago I think. but then again, there were (relative) easy methods I didn't use to get first discoveries on three of the main books.

#

I assume you might have seen my methods for Unseen Academicals and Men At Arms. Thud! I orginially got at well by forcing the exclamation mark on the end.

#

Only method I can offer at the moment for Where's My Cow is via "hi Mr." The World of Poo only required "hi" but some string.appends

#

Route is quite different in places, notably no Fjord or Sequel, but Sourcery and Pyramids might be incorportated into the prior route

#

Still working on a better Unseen Academicals, Arizona State University + Pyramid Scheme = University of Phoenix which I haven't fully explored

barren mesa
#

A New Discworld Novel + Carwash = Carpe Jugulum , -3

barren mesa
#

Michigan + Moving Pictures = Motown, -2

barren mesa
#

A New Discworld Novel + J = Jingo, net 0, but I should be able to resuffle elsewhere for a net -1

north remnant
#

interesting

#

ill do some testing with that route

barren mesa
#

Equal Rites + Sour Note = Sourcery, -2

barren mesa
north remnant
#

but i wont post it yet just in case i find some more

#

or the skip jsut doesnt work

barren mesa
#

Other Jingo recipes: J + The Colour of Magic = Jingo J + Unseen Academicals = Jingo J + Monstrous Regiment = Jingo

barren mesa
#

-3: Rose Bowl + Sam Vimes = Football Football + Monstrous Regiment = Football Monster A New Discworld Novel + Football Monster = Unseen Academicals

versed wave
#

I revied The Sea and thE Little fishes, but it doesn't look like it would be helpful, it did lead me to A Discworld Novel, but that also didn't give anything needed

#

I see you've got extra steps for Wintersmith though. That one should be Thud! + A Hat Full of Sky

barren mesa
#

Incorporated. Currently gives a -1, but negates the gains from the J recipe for Jingo, so the previous approach should now be equal.

#

The fact that multiple books react with J to get Jingo suggests that there is another Discworld-based approach that could be faster.

#

Also found Mop + Sir Terry Pratchett = Moist von Lipwig, which I have some hope for a quicker Raising Steam

north remnant
#

also im pretty sure i have a quicker route for that

#

but im not on my pc atm

#

so i cant check

barren mesa
#

There we go: A New Discworld Novel + Locomotive = Raising Steam

barren mesa
north remnant
#

nice, i found another skip

#

i think i can get a sub-120

north remnant
#

yet another skip

#

that means a sub-120 is guaranteed

versed wave
#

Presumably there should be Discworld related things to reach Eric as well, but either way under an average of 3 for each book is a lot better than I expected

barren mesa
#

Unexpected output: Katakana + Raising Steam = カタカナ

north remnant
#

i have to turn off now so i didnt have any time to search for a better Unseen Academicals, Snuff, Raising Steam or Sourcery

barren mesa
#

Money skip. Should be a -1 with some reshuffling: A New Discworld Novel + Going Postal = Making Money Making Money + Paper = Bank

barren mesa
#

Hmm...the new route makes applying that change difficult.

#

Anyways, faster Jingo, -4: Continent + The Truth = Africa Africa + The Truth = Apartheid A New Discworld Novel + Apartheid = Jingo

north remnant
#

hmm

north remnant
north remnant
#

the skip uses making money, which uses a great discworld novel, which uses sam vimes, which uses thief, which is in the path for bank

#

unless we have a way of going from a great book to a burned book without using sam vimes

versed wave
#

The alternate methods I see for Making Money also need at least one of the other books that use a new discoworld novel

#

wait capre jugulum needs that as well, so both pairs that can make making money use a new discord novel

barren mesa
#

I think I got it to work, I just need to verify that I didn't miss anything

barren mesa
north remnant
#

nice

barren mesa
#

Possibly helpful findings: ```Viking + Wet = Wetting
Car + Wetting = Carwash

Continent + Train = Transcontinental Railroad
A Hat Full of Sky + Transcontinental Railroad = The Great Train Robbery
Terry Pratchett + The Great Train Robbery = Making Money

Flat Earth + Train = Flat Train
Flat Train + Thief of Time = The Great Train Robbery

Inferior + Train = Subway
Discworld + Mud = Luggage
Luggage + Subway = Thief

Island + Wyrd Sisters = Avalon
Avalon + Sam Vimes = Sir Samuel Vimes
Raising Steam + Sir Samuel Vimes = A new Discworld novel```

#

Annoyingly close: Locomotive + The Light Fantastic = The Locomotive Terry Pratchett + The Locomotive = The Raising Steam

barren mesa
#

-2: Island + Wyrd Sisters = Avalon Avalon + Sam Vimes = Sir Samuel Vimes Continent + Steam = Train Train + Tree = Railroad Railroad + Tsunami Pratchett = Raising Steam // Raising Steam + Sir Samuel Vimes = A new Discworld novel

#

Drops Neil Gaiman, Good Omens, A great book, A Burned Book, adds Avalon, Sir Samuel Vimes

north remnant
#

we already have the bank path, so the thief one would be useless

#

same reason for the carwash one, although that would just give equal step-count

#

making money is already on path with a new discworld novel with 0 additional steps, so theres no point

north remnant
#

ive done practically none of the good findings

#

bartleby's carrying this one lol

#

also i find it weird we dont have a 1-step to england from terry pratchett

north remnant
#

i have all the lineage lined up and its at 112, which would be -1

image.png
#

or am i missing something?

barren mesa
#

Blank next to Bank

north remnant
#

oh i found whats wrong

#

i didnt see you got a thiefless sam vimes

barren mesa
#

Unneeded Boat

#

Unless that is an Iceland sub

north remnant
#

boat + europe

#

ship also works

#

i was thinking if that could be reused somewhere else for a -1

barren mesa
#

Ah, no Money skip

north remnant
#

also maybe we could get 1-step jingo from politician or democracy

#

Eric + Feet Of Clay for Politician
America + Equal Rites for Democracy

barren mesa
#

Main saves were the result of Car + Pyramid Scheme = Lemon. Also a Football save at the end

north remnant
#

unfortunately i dont think anything on the equal rites path can be cut

#

america is used, usa is used, michigan is used, lake is used
