Task 25.9 Diana K's Task: 2020 Number Fun.

The year 2020 has something unique to each century: two digits followed by the exact same two digits. It last happened in 1919 and repeats every 101 years from the year 1010 to 9999. Let's have some fun with this and the number 20.

This is a two book task. Choose two of the following options and read one book for each option.
Required: State the option.

Option 1: Read a book that has a consecutive repeating pair of letters in a word in the title, subtitle or author's name. Examples are: Mama, The Papal Secret (PA|PA) and Jojo Moyes.

Option 2: The sum of the first four even numbers is 20. Read a book where the digits in the page number count add up to 20, ex. 299 (2+9+9 = 20), 398 (3+9+8 = 20).

Option 3: The number 20 was the base for the Mayan numeral system which is known as a "vigesimal" number system. Read a book by an author whose first and last name initials appear in the word VIGESIMAL. Letters may be used only as often as they appear in the target word.

Option 4: 20/20 in vision is the goal that eye doctors aim for when prescribing glasses or contacts. Read a book that has a pair of glasses on the cover. Sunglasses, monocles, lorgnettes, etc. work.

Required: Include the cover when posting.

For option 4, do the glasses have to be on a face? I was thinking of this cover:

Do the glasses have to be completely visible for option 4? Will work?

It's fine as long as it's clearly visible that they are glasses. It works in this case.

Does this work for Option 4?

That works.
