 		Decent card, but not the best
I had a question for you Scribe about your hint... I've solved the card, but
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

What do you mean when you say fans of Brazil might have an advantage? Are you talking about the movie, or just the country? Cuz the movie is one of my all time favorites and I have no idea what you're talking about if that is what you meant...

Confused

Yup, the film - was a hint to point people in the right "direction", let's say... Wink

 		Some pointers:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Make sure you have a list that gives you English titles - using the Wikipedia list gives you three wrong letters, though it's still solveable (that's what I got it from!)


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The three words you uncover aren't the answer, they're a hint to another tale which is the answer.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you don't immediately get it from the words you uncover, do some research into the most famous tales not mentioned so far in the answer - one should stand out as related.


I like this card - I've learned stuff from it, which is always nice. Not sure about the typos on it, though. If they fit into the puzzle I can't see how, and if they don't then they're just sloppy. Even so, a fun card.

 		Got it! The first 8 letters made a word which helps a lot. I couldn't quite get the other words, but I suppose guessing the answer is a clue in itself.

This is a very strange night for me as I've managed a fair few solves simply because of what Rainbowtrout and I tend to talk about sometimes thats completely unrelated to the cards!!!

I LOVE this card, had a bit of trouble finding an English translation for some of them though!

This site was a great help

 		I would work from a different list (try the link 4 comments up in the spoiler box). Looks like your translations are slightly different.
