Where YOU Are On Finch's Bookshelves

...Or how the system plays out.

Phase 1: Go HERE to find the three Dewey Decimal catagories to match up with your own Number. DO NOT SHARE YOUR PIECES OR WHAT THOSE CATAGORIES ARE.

Phase 2: Go to HERE and find the corresponding LIBRARY OF CONGRESS codes for the catagories you found in the Dewey Decimal search

matrixrefugee on the fic journal account: This was immensely fun (and good exercise for my brain). My Number:

Zulu Alpha Mike Tango Charlie Tango

I may hang onto this as future reference, since there *is* a half-finished shameless self-insert fic that's sitting in one of my dead-tree journals...

This is so awesome! Thanks! =D

How is the last four figured out? 0## or ##0, and drop the zero twice to get the four digits? Or ... ### and 00# with the zeroes dropped?

I'll confess, it's Saturday night and I've had one or three drinks so maybe the answer is obvious and I just don't see it =P

Say your "number" is ABC-DE-FGHI. You'd split it up like so:

ABC
DEF
GHI

and go from there.

Lol, of course it's that easy! It's the Canadian way. Now that it's morning I even remember the episode where they hold they hold up the books.

For some reason I couldn't get myself unstuck from US formatting and I kept trying to shoehorn them into 3-2-4.

Thanks!

It took me a second, too. You're welcome!

I appear to be:

Tango Alpha Charlie Quebec Hotel.

I only have five because I cannot for the life of me figure out the subcategory that the first class my number corresponds with would be under.

Cool!! I wasn't able to find my exact codes because part of my Dewey Decimal category was one that's not in use anymore and there's no corresponding Library of Congress code, but I got close by generalizing. Thanks for posting these! =)

This was an interesting challenge! I'm Alfa Mike November Charlie Papa Charlie.
