Timeline 2020 - Chron 5

Turn it up to 11 - a Double Timeline chain

The 20 events in this chain, when paired and sequenced correctly, occurred eleven years apart. There are two events per year.

Points awarded as follows:
One point for correctly identifying each year in the chain (10 total)
One point for each event matched to the correct year (20 total)

Note: The two events within each year can be placed in any order

Hint: Look for an obvious answer and build the chain around it (+/- 11 years). Once you have the chain in place it's much easier to match up the events. For instance, if you know one of the years is 1960 (it's not, BTW), then the chain could be built forward (1971, 1982...) and backwards (1949, 1938...). The start and end dates of the chain can be determined by the events.

Reminder: Two events per year, each set 11 years apart.

I keep reading this in different ways and am just confusing myself. The statements I have the most difficulty with are:
"The 20 events in this chain, when paired and sequenced correctly, occurred eleven years apart. There are two events per year."
and
"Reminder: Two events per year, each set 11 years apart."

In your example, do you mean:
Year first
Event 1
Event 2

Year second (which equals Year first + 11)
Event 1
Event 2
.
.
.
Year last (which equals Year first + 99)
Event 1
Event 2

I think the forward/backward thing confused me more than it should have. Do you mean pin down one event and build your chain from that at 11-year intervals in both directions?

In the statement, "Reminder: Two events per year, each set 11 years apart," does the "each" refer to the year and not the event?

I likely failed to explain it clearly. The way you described it correct.

Year first
Event 1
Event 2

Year second (which equals Year first + 11)
Event 1
Event 2
.
.
.
Year last (which equals Year first + 99)
Event 1
Event 2

I should have said

"Reminder: Two events per 11-year cycle"


Each year in the chain is 11 years apart and there are 2 events per 11-year cycle. I used forward and backwards because you will likely get a year in the middle of the chain first and work from it.

I hope this helps.
