Not sure how to do the trademark.
Well, I guess you could say I flubbed, but for the first time I can ever remember Fred asked for a four-word answer that had six words.
He said arrange to form the book:
Stone / Potter/ Harry/ Sorcerer
I wasn't sure if he said Sorcerer's or Sorcerer, point is: I know Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the book title -- and so I got confused and reversed the last two. Yes very stupid but I mean there are SO many four-word book/phrases, etc.. you figure they could avoid 4-word answers that really have six words in them!

That's.....odd. Never seen a six-word four-word answer before.
On a Windows PX, the ® can be producedby holding down the ALT key and typing 0174 on your numeric keypad.

thanks for the info Tuba, but I have a Mac -- relatively new and still learning how to use it! (I like it, but it's sorta like driving on the left....).
Tried that it and didn't work... but hopefully point made!

I never remember, either. That why I've saved it in a file and cut & paste.
And a <grumble>® for you getting that oddly incomplete question.

well in fairness (to Fred, I guess...) he MAY have said:
Put these words in order to HELP form the title.
I honestly couldn't tell you. But we're so conditioned to think 4 words and only 4, and words like "and", "the", "of" are always key parts of those Q1's, that the thought never occurred to me. Has that ever happened before? I don't recall it ever has, but maybe someone else does.
In the 6 or 7 seconds I had to think about it all I could think was, huh? Maybe there's some alternate version Harry Potter: Stone Sorcerer!
I know how silly that looks and sounds, but I was really thrown for a loop and that was the only 4-word answer I could conjure up!
Well, 4 down, 6 (hopefully less for my piece of mind!) to go.....
