Wow. I'd seen this thread over the last few months but didn't read through much of it as I didn't understand what it was about at the time. Now that I've caught on (and finished Warbreaker), I'm finding myself almost buying the Elantris & Mistborn paperbacks. Primarily because my originally purchased hardcovers are in California and I'm in Texas (El Paso 'area').
Unfortunately, after reading all 18 pages, I'm not quite sure where some of this data stems from, how this whole tangent started, the whole of the shards coming to light, etc. If anyone feels so inclined, could you point me to some resources for further study on this topic?
I'd muchly appreciate it.
And lastly...
But Roshar has at least 30
Exactly! We're gonna jump to simple algebra for this one... If A=B and B=C then A=C
(At least 30) = (Any number greater than 30)
(31) = (A number greater than 30)
(31) = (At least 30)
IF.
A = "my car"
B = "a mode of transportation"
C = "my bicycle"
THEN:
My car = my bicycle?
You have no idea how infuriating it can be to have lived with a philosophy major (now a professor in ethics, I believe, at a university I haven't asked about recently).
