The contest on the back of LIAGB

I know it's old, but I'm a newcomer to the series. I recently tried the online quiz started by the crossword on the back of LIAGB. I'm stuck on the dodo question (How far did the dodo walk into the Forest of Dean). Maybe it's a part of the book that I overlooked, I'm not a very careful reader. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

In the old forum there is a big thread about it...

the reply is not in the book... think how long the dodo walks in till it starts getting out...

Ok, I don't get it. And Neo, I'm new to these books too. Just finished LIAGB today. The answer blanks are very picky about what you type in, so have I messed up somehow? Does the dodo only step in one foot? I am lost. Please help. Thanks!

Hi to Wabarbie and Neoveritas! The thread that Carla mentioned is in Nextian Chat six pages back, under the heading 'STUCK? Check here first!'by Poetscientistdrinker. I think its more of a hint guide, but it may be some help.

All the best with the puzzle!

Finished the dodo puzzle, then finally the goofy which one of these things is not like the other. I think I'm gonna have to sleep on Tom's sayings! Thanks for directing me to Poetscientistdrinker. He is a BIG help!

There's another word that will come in useful for the Swifites -
